She's built her world on control. He's forgotten what it means to want. But some sparks don't ask permission before they burn.
Vivian Thorne built her life on polish, power, and impeccable control. As the owner of the Velvet Room-a high-end burlesque club known for its vintage glamours-she knows how to captivate a crowd without ever letting anyone close. Love is a liability she can't afford-and perfection is the armor she never removes.
Dean Thatcher is a gruff, guarded divorce attorney who's seen every way love can break, bleed, and betray. He doesn't do risks. He doesn't do chaos. And he sure as hell doesn't fall for women who look like trouble wrapped in red lipstick and secrets.
Their connection should have been a brief spark-an impulse easy to ignore.
But the more Dean uncovers the woman beneath the polish, the more he realizes she's the most dangerously real thing he's ever craved. And the more Vivian lets him in, the more terrified she is that he'll walk away when he sees the cracks no amount of armor can hide.
Masks will slip. Hearts will break open.
And when survival isn't enough anymore, they'll have to risk everything-for a love that strips them bare.
