The Velvet Blind (The Velvet #3)

They turned me into the scandal before I could expose theirs.

My reputation is under attack.

One carefully manufactured lie.

One leaked phrase.

One scandal designed to make me look corrupt before I can speak.

The same machine I’ve spent years dismantling has turned its attention on me.

Then Everett Knox walks into my office.

Billionaire.

Protector.

Keeper of secrets powerful people would kill to bury.

His name opens doors no one else can touch.

And his signature is on the evidence that started this war.

He offers me protection.

A secure house.

Controlled routes.

A perimeter built by a man who thinks safety means predicting every move before I make it.

I should say no.

Instead, I negotiate terms.

Now I’m living inside his walls, sleeping under his roof, and trying not to notice the way he watches me like I’m the only variable he can’t control.

The way his voice changes when he says my name.

The way his hands are careful.

The way his mouth is not.

The attraction is inconvenient.

The trust is dangerous.

Because the people trying to destroy me are not finished.

And the man guarding me might be the only one who can help me burn their entire operation to the ground.

But if I let Everett Knox all the way in…

I might lose the one thing I fought hardest to keep.

Myself.

The Velvet Blind is a forced-proximity billionaire romantic suspense with dark luxury, dangerous secrets, obsessive protection, and irresistible forbidden tension.
