Ella Hart is a maid with a dying mother, a job she desperately needs, and three women at Vexley House determined to make her life hell.
Nathaniel Vexley was never supposed to notice her…until a last-minute request puts Ella at his family’s foundation gala.
Hair. Makeup. Jewels. And a stunning dress that once belonged to his mother. By the time Ella steps into the gala, she barely recognizes herself.
But Nathaniel does.
Once he sees her, he wants her…and a Vexley takes what he wants.
Pulled into Nathaniel’s world, Ella begins to see what lies beneath the money and power—secrets, sins, and dangerous truths the Vexleys have spent years keeping buried.
By the time she realizes how far she’s been drawn in, she’s no longer just witnessing their crimes.
She’s committing one of her own.
