Kira Vasquez built her empire on never wanting anything she couldn't walk away from — galleries, collectors, men. Dominic Ashe is the one client who never learned his place, and the only one she's never managed to forget. When a charity gala pins them in the same room for the first time in two years, the polite distance they've both perfected starts cracking before dessert is served. One elevator ride to the forty-second floor later, the question isn't whether the tension between them finally breaks — it's who ends up surrendering first. A story about control, pride, and the thin line between wanting someone and belonging to them.
