Junie Everhart makes rich people’s lives run on time. Private client concierge. Invitation-only. Discretion as a weapon.
So when her VIP orders her to attend a charity gala aboard The Black Regalia, Junie does what she always does—keeps the client steady, keeps the cameras happy, keeps the chaos contained.
Except this yacht isn’t a fundraiser.
It’s a marketplace—champagne on the top deck, leverage below. And Junie’s access—her ability to move through doors other people can’t—makes her the cleanest pressure point in the room.
Cyril Mattei doesn’t do small problems. Corsican. Controlled. Built like a final decision. He’s on The Black Regalia because he can smell a setup before it snaps shut.
When a philanthropy power couple targets Junie for their private war, they don’t just threaten her night—they threaten her name, her livelihood, and the kind of scandal that doesn’t wash off.
Cyril steps in—not with a rescue fantasy, but with a choice.
Leave now, protected…
or stay and help him flip the night.
Junie doesn’t need saving. She needs backup. And Cyril doesn’t want a pretty distraction—he wants the woman who refuses to be handled.
Luxury is the bait. He’s the consequence.
Tropes & Vibes:
• BWWM dark luxury romance (novella)
• Yacht gala / high-society corruption
• Competent heroine / fixer MMC
• Possessive energy, consent-forward
''' Reputation warfare + private leverage
• Ruthless protection
• HEA guaranteed
