1980's Manhattan, where fame is expensive but the price of desire is ruinous. At thirty, Raya Anderson owns New York. Her debut novel didn't just make her a literary sensation; it made her a goddess of the written word. Her face is on every glossy cover; her name is whispered in every dark corner of the city's elite.
Then came Julian Murphy.
He is the enigmatic, lethal pulse of Marcy & Kline Publishing. A man who rules the industry with cold hands and an untouchable reputation. When he rejects Raya's highly anticipated second manuscript, he doesn't just spark a scandal; he lights a fuse.
Behind the locked doors of his rain-slicked Manhattan office, the air is thick with smoke, whiskey, and a predatory tension. But the manuscript isn't the problem.
Driven by fury and a desperate need for answers, Raya matches Julian move for move in a high-stakes game of manipulation. But the deeper she digs into his motives, the more the lines blur between corporate warfare and a dark, intoxicating fixation. Julian's silence is a threat, his proximity is a fever, and his touch is a beautiful trap.
She came to save her career. But in Julian's world, the truth isn't just edited, it's stripped bare.
