Velvet Knives

She was never handed a life-she fought for it.

Orphaned young and raised in a house that spoke of honour but hid cruelty behind closed doors, she learned early that a woman's voice was inconvenient, her dreams disposable, and her body never truly hers. The silence she was forced into became her sharpest weapon.

Now, she owns the silence.

A legend in London's corporate world, her name commands rooms across Europe. Powerful, poised, and impossible to read-she is everything they said she could never be. Marriage is meaningless to her. Love, a luxury she doesn't believe in. She trusts no one. Needs no one.

Until Deniz Demirhan.

Another name the world fears. Ruthless. Cold. Built from fire and control. And when their paths clash, it isn't just business on the line-it's the pieces of themselves they swore no one would ever touch.

She's velvet.
He's ice.
Both deadly.

And some wounds don't stay buried forever.
