For eight months, curator Zoey wanted only one thing she could never have: for billionaire Bennett Ashbourne to finally see her. The night she stops waiting and lets another man take her hand, Bennett crosses an entire ballroom to claim her in front of everyone. But surrendering to him awakens an enemy willing to burn both their worlds to the ground, and when a scandal threatens everything, Zoey discovers that the most powerful man in New York will choose her over his empire. What is he hiding behind a silence that could cost them both far more than their pride?
