Raised in foster care after losing her family in a mysterious house fire, Addie has thrown herself into her work to escape her painful past. Her designs are bold, daring, and unconventional qualities that catch the eye of Dominic Voss, a reclusive billionaire who is as famous for his luxury brand as he is infamous for his ruthless business tactics.

The opportunity feels too good to be true—and it just might be. From the moment she steps into Dominic’s world, Addie senses there’s more to him than meets the eye. Beneath his suave exterior lies a man haunted by ghosts of his past. His empire isn’t just built on fabric and runways—it’s a front for a secret network that trades in stolen corporate secrets.
Unbeknownst to Addie, Dominic’s business is under siege. A rival luxury tycoon, Elise Calderon, has been attempting to dismantle his empire from the inside out. Elise, a former lover of Dominic’s and a rival in both business and espionage, has developed a dangerous obsession with him.
