Isla Laurent has spent her entire life being perfect.
A pristine reputation.
A powerful old-money family.
A face known on runways and at galas, never in scandal headlines.
One mistake could ruin everything.
Roman Orlov doesn't belong in her world-and he doesn't want to.
Seemingly cold, sharp, and dangerous, he's the heir to a rising empire built on blood, secrets, and illegal deals. As his family's influence grows, Roman is pulled deeper into their business... and straight into Isla's orbit.
They keep ending up in the same glittering rooms.
The same exclusive events.
On opposite sides of a quiet war between legacy wealth and new power.
She's sweetness and smiles.
He's silence and shadows.
While Isla's family carefully plans her perfect future, everything Roman represents threatens to unravel the life she's been raised to protect.
But what if he's the solution to her growing dilemma?
In a world where reputation is currency and love is a liability, some things aren't protected. They're up for grabs.
