The Prequel
The Night We Burned
She wasn't supposed to be there. He wasn't supposed to notice her.
Isabelle Laurent has spent years building a life no one can trace back to the girl she used to be. One charity gala. One night in a world she doesn't belong to. One man whose gaze pins her like a moth beneath glass.
Dominic Ashford doesn't chase. He acquires. And the woman with the fabricated smile and the real fear in her eyes just became the most interesting thing in a room full of people who bore him.
By morning, they'll both wish they'd walked away. By morning, it'll be far too late.
This is the night before the empire. Before the obsession. Before everything burned.
