ALYS

Alice Arthur has spent her whole life dreaming in fabric, sketching beautiful things for people who live in a world she can only observe from the outside.

At twenty-three, she is talented, ambitious, and determined to make her name in Manhattan's unforgiving fashion industry. She doesn't have a powerful surname, an endless bank account, or connections capable of opening locked doors.

Then she meets Alexander Vale.

Thirty-four. Impossibly wealthy. Intimidatingly composed. And born into the kind of old-money Manhattan family whose name carries more weight than most people's fortunes.

Alexander is accustomed to control. His businesses. His reputation. His carefully ordered life.

Alice was never supposed to become part of it.

What begins as an unexpected collision between two completely different worlds slowly becomes something neither of them can dismiss. Behind Alexander's polished restraint is a man Alice never expected to discover, while beneath Alice's softness is an ambition and stubbornness Alexander cannot control.

But Manhattan loves beautiful things almost as much as it loves destroying them.

And when love becomes tangled with wealth, family expectations, jealousy, secrets, and a fashion world where everyone is watching, Alice must decide how much of herself she is willing to risk for the man who could give her everything-

except an uncomplicated love story.

She was trying to make her name.
He already had one the whole city knew.
Neither expected the other to become the name they couldn't forget.
