Blair Ashford never planned on falling for another actor— not after her ex cheated, lied, and made her the punchline of an entire city. But the universe has a messed-up sense of humor. At an exclusive Bulgari–style gala in Manhattan, the new golden boy of Hollywood, Sean Rivers, strolls up to her wearing a serpentine necklace and a slow, sinfully confident smile. He calls her “ma’am”—half teasing, half worship—and somehow flips her entire world with a single look. Blair knows better. She’s a producer, a PR shark, a woman who learned to build an empire with her bare hands after her family tried to cage her. Sean is… everything she swore never to touch again. Except he isn’t like the others. He remembers the day she rejected him years ago. He remembers it so clearly that it still glitters like broken glass in his voice. Now he’s back—famous, sharp-edged, and fiercely loyal—and Blair needs him more than ever if she wants to tear down her ex’s fake kingdom. They promise each other it’s “strictly business.” But late-night rooftop arguments, paparazzi scandals, and one very illegal amount of chemistry make it increasingly clear: Sean isn’t here for her company. He’s here for her. And Blair? She’s about to learn what happens when the boy she once underestimated turns into the man who would burn the world down for her. A glitter-sharp, slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romance with tension thick enough to slice open.
