VELVET CHAINS
"She was never his prisoner — she was his punishment."
Elira Vale was forged in silence—trained to infiltrate, manipulate, and vanish without a trace.
Her latest assignment? Take down the Moreaux Syndicate from the inside.
To do that, she must get close to its heir: Azriel Moreaux—a man known for his cold precision, strategic mind, and the trail of blood he never bothers to wipe clean.
But Azriel has secrets of his own. He’s known from the beginning that Elira isn’t who she pretends to be. Still, instead of turning her in...
He keeps her close.
Closer than anyone’s ever been.
She becomes his assistant. His shadow. His obsession.
What begins as a trap turns into a war of twisted desire.
Now, neither of them can tell where the lies end and the craving begins.
Because Elira was never just a spy.
And Azriel?
He doesn’t want justice.
He wants her broken.
And in the end—
She was never his prisoner. She was his punishment.
