At the Marlowe Gallery, Eden lives among priceless beauty—and weaponized secrets. When a high-profile painting vanishes and an anonymous power network turns its gaze on her, Eden is given an ultimatum: deliver the truth… or become the next disappearance.
Enter Lucien Grey—cold, controlled, and dangerously certain Eden is part of the crime. He isn’t a cop, and he isn’t a buyer. He’s the consequence. Forced into an uneasy alliance, Eden and Lucien chase a trail of encrypted art deals, missing ledgers, and names powerful enough to burn cities to the ground.
But the deeper they dig, the more the line between interrogation and obsession blurs. Eden’s body betrays her. Lucien’s restraint cracks. And every touch risks exposing the one secret that could make her priceless… or expendable.
In a world where art is currency and desire is leverage, Eden must decide what she’s willing to trade to survive—and what she’s willing to destroy to win.
