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.
River
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.
