Two Empires. One Heartbreak. A Love that Defies the Rules. Aria Rosemont was the "Golden Girl" of the fashion world. As the youngest heir to the multi-billion dollar Rosemont Empire, her life was a whirlwind of camera flashes, silk dresses, and a smile that could light up a runway. But that was before. Before her heart was shattered by a boy who saw her as a trophy rather than a person. Now, the smile is gone, replaced by a cold, untouchable mask of ice. Cassian Thorne is the future of the Thorne Industrial Dynasty. He has everything: power, wealth, and a face that makes every girl at Royal Oak Academy swoon.

When their powerful parents decide to move Aria to Cassian’s elite school to save her from her depression, the world watches in silence. She arrives with a "Grand Entrance" protected by her three legendary, over-protective brothers, looking like a queen who has forgotten how to feel.

Between the glittering galas, the secret family dinners, and the dark hallways of the world’s most expensive school, a "More Than a Feeling" connection begins to ignite.
