Still

Sometimes, a single moment is the start of forever.

Everett

Legacy is carved into my bloodline, centuries deep.

Power, wealth, duty-none of it feels like a choice.

Now I wear the crown of LEVMARK, the empire my family built, and I'm tasked with creating what my mother once dreamed of-a fine jewelry line that will outlast us all.

But the designer I need is the one woman I should keep at a distance.

The woman I've already saved once, though she never knew my name.

Design is the language of my soul.

Metal, fire, and vision-I bend them into beauty, creating pieces that whisper of who I am and who I want to become.

But in this industry, ambition comes at a cost.

Blacklisted. Betrayed. Still, I rise.

And now my dream collides with him-the man who could shatter my defenses, or set everything I've built ablaze.

This is our story.

One night.

One secret.

One love.

A story forged in fire and etched in steel.
