He was the city’s youngest billionaire CEO—cold, calculating, and dangerously brilliant. She was a girl on the run, with nothing but a forged ID and a dark past she couldn’t escape.

When 18-year-old Aria Quinn arrives in New York City with a false identity, she isn’t looking for trouble—only survival. Haunted by a tragedy she barely escaped, she keeps her head down and takes a job as a night janitor at the towering headquarters of SilvyrTech, the most powerful tech empire on the East Coast.

She never expected to crash—literally—into Lucien Silvyr, the infamous 24-year-old CEO with ice in his veins and secrets deeper than hers.

Lucien is known for three things: building his company from scratch, never trusting anyone, and firing people on the spot. But instead of dismissing Aria, he keeps her close… too close.

As she’s pulled into his glittering world of money, secrets, and manipulation, Aria must tread carefully. Because Lucien isn't just a man—he’s a mystery wrapped in danger. And someone wants both of them dead.

In a world of glass towers and silver lies, can a girl with nothing find love with a man who hides everything?
