He even sent me to an old man's bed. With his arm around that woman, he said to me smugly, "Celia Hawthorne, that old man is The Chairman of our company, worth over a hundred million.

As they reached the secluded garden, Seraphina turned to face Lucien, her eyes filled with a mix of defiance and vulnerability. "Thank you for bringing me here," she said softly. Lucien stepped closer, his gaze intense. "Why do I feel like you’re up to something?" Seraphina smiled faintly. "Maybe because I am."

Trapped in a web of family loyalty and ruthless ambition, she knows she must escape before she becomes a pawn in a perilous game.

A feared criminal mastermind from Colombia, Lucien’s name is synonymous with danger, power, and a fortune built on the edge of a knife. His return to New York is driven by a personal vendetta, and his presence sends ripples of fear and fascination through the city's elite. Lucien is a man who bends the world to his will, and Saraphine sees in him the key to her salvation. Their paths cross at a masquerade ball, a glittering facade where secrets and identities are hidden behind ornate masks.
