"You look great even in a towel," he replies, smirking. "But you'd look even better without it, étoile chérie."
Her breath catches at his nickname. "I heard you went to the bar after our fight. Care to explain?"
Before she can react, Alastor advances, his hand gripping her throat as he pins her against the wall. The tension between them ignites, revealing the raw desire and buried passion that simmer beneath their surface.
In a world where high fashion and mafia secrets collide, Ivelle and Alastor are drawn into a dangerous and seductive game. As their past conflicts and hidden desires surface, they must navigate the treacherous path between rivalry and irresistible attraction, all while facing the dark forces threatening to tear them apart.
Meanwhile, Natasha Ashton, haunted by strange hallucinations and a string of mysterious family deaths, tries to leave her forensic past behind by joining Ivelle's fashion empire. But when she runs into Marshall Salvatore, her former colleague and unrequited love, her life spirals once again.
"Natasha," Marshall murmurs as he stands too close, his fingers brushing her arm. "You never realized how much you meant to me, did you?"
Natasha's heart races as she pulls away, her mind racing between old wounds and the familiar comfort of his touch. "This isn't the time, Marshall. There's too much at stake."
As they work together to investigate her family's deaths, Natasha and Marshall grow closer. But every revelation leads them deeper into a dangerous Mafia conspiracy.
