Velvet Desires: A Steamy Billionaire Romance & Mystery Novel - Hardcover Special Edition

THE STORY: Enter the world of Elena Vance, a woman who breathes life back into the past. When she is outbid at an auction for a legendary gown, she never expects the buyer—enigmatic billionaire Julian Vane—to track her down with a proposal she can't refuse. What starts as a technical challenge in a high-tech New York penthouse quickly evolves into a global hunt for the truth. Hidden inside the 'Midnight Velvet' is a coded letter from 1920s Paris, a secret that Julian's family has guarded for generations. As they traverse the romantic streets of Lyon and dodge corporate spies, the friction between Elena’s working-class grit and Julian’s polished exterior ignites a passion that threatens to consume them both. When the dress is slashed by a rival, Elena must use ancient techniques to save the garment and her future with a man who lives in a world of glass and gold.
