Silas Voss leads a double life. To the world, he is a revered global jewelry tycoon,
clad in tailored bespoke suits with an air of icy aristocratic detachment, obsessively
demanding perfection in every gemstone’s cut and luster. Beneath the glamorous
facade, he reigns over the underground jewelry smuggling ring spanning Europe and
America, ruthless and unyielding to traitors. Betrayal and his mother’s tragic death in
childhood left him scarred, distrustful of everyone, hiding his fragility behind an
insatiable need for control.
Lila Bennett, a gentle antique book restorer, is forced to work as Silas’s personal
assistant to save her younger brother, who was tricked into the smuggling scheme
by their scheming enemy Marcus Hale.
A clash of ice and fire ignites a forbidden, heart-wrenching romance tangled with
fear and longing. The grinning villain sets deadly traps one after another, while
buried blood-soaked secrets resurface. Lila becomes the only glimmer of light in
Silas’s endless darkness, and the two fall in love on the edge of a knife, redeeming
each other amid life-or-death danger
