Rule one: don't make enemies with the man who owns the city's most ruthless fashion empire.
Rule two: don't scream profanities at his car.
Wren Deveraux breaks both in under thirty seconds.
One satisfying outburst. One ruined Louboutin. And suddenly she's standing toe-to-toe with Cassian DeVille—fashion's cruelest visionary and the most dangerous man in New York.
He could destroy her with a phone call.
Instead, he smiles.
Because people don't yell at Cassian DeVille. They don't hold his stare. They don't stand there, soaking wet and furious, like they'd claw his eyes out if he pushed them.
But she does.
And now he can't look away.
When he offers her a job, every instinct screams run.
She takes it anyway.
Now Wren's trapped in a world of silk-wrapped chaos and a boss who collects obsessions like couture—intense, consuming, and always discarded. She should be terrified. But somewhere between his brutal words and the way he watches her when he thinks she doesn't notice, fear becomes something far more dangerous.
Want.
And Cassian isn't the only one watching.
Archer—the rival designer with a soft smile and sharp intentions. He tells her to run. Then keeps finding reasons to stay close.
Knox—the enforcer built like a threat. He hasn't decided if she's something to protect or a problem to bury.
Nico—the quiet one. The one who sees too much and says too little. The one whose silence feels louder than anyone else's words.
Four men. Four obsessions. One woman who was never supposed to matter.
But she does.
And in Cassian DeVille's world, that's the most dangerous thing she could be.
