Violet Carter has always believed that talent should speak for itself. Struggling to make a name for herself in the fashion world, she designs beautiful dresses from what she has, dreaming of the day her work will finally be seen. Then Alexander Vale sees one of her creations.A billionaire with an empire at his fingertips, Alexander is captivated by the dress and intrigued by the woman wearing it. When he finally finds Violet, he offers her an opportunity she never imagined: work exclusively for him for one year, designing clothes for his brand and bringing her vision into his world. At the end of that year, he promises to make her his business partner rather than an employee and give her the fashion house she's always dreamed of.It should be nothing more than a business arrangement but working closely with Alexander Vale is anything but simple.Violet is fierce, outspoken, and completely unwilling to be intimidated by his wealth. Alexander is accustomed to getting exactly what he wants, and now he wants her designs, her time, and eventually far more than either of them planned. As Alexander begins to open every door money can buy for Violet, she finds herself stepping into a world of luxury she never expected: a new home, endless opportunities, and a billionaire who seems determined to make sure she never has to struggle again but Violet doesn't want to be known as the woman Alexander Vale sponsored.She wants the world to know her name and as her talent takes her from an unknown designer to one of fashion's most sought-after names, the line between business and something much more dangerous begins to disappear because sometimes, the person who inspires your greatest creation becomes the person you can't imagine creating a life without.
