Ava Sinclair has spent her life outrunning shadows, grief, betrayal and the ruin of a once-golden family name. After her tech-legend father’s mysterious death and the sudden collapse of their empire, she’s clawed her way back from obscurity, forging a new identity as a fierce branding strategist with a no-nonsense reputation. But her resolve is tested when she’s summoned to pitch her biggest project yet; to Damien Moreau, the reclusive billionaire whose gaze sees through façades… and burns everything behind them.
Damien is cold fire wrapped in tailored silk. Unrelenting. Enigmatic. Dangerous. He rules his empire from the shadows and the moment he lays eyes on Ava, the game shifts. To her surprise, he accepts her pitch; not just the campaign, but her. He offers a contract that promises salvation for her career, but demands more than she’s willing to give. Silence. Loyalty. Proximity.
It’s supposed to be professional. It becomes anything but.
Drawn into Damien’s world of smoky penthouses, coded glances and contracts signed in ink and breath, Ava finds herself unraveling. He awakens something long buried: desire, yes; but also suspicion. Because the more she learns about Damien, the more she suspects he knows more about her past than he lets on.
When a masked intruder breaks into her apartment and a black envelope appears with a name only her father would’ve known, Ava is forced to confront the impossible: her father might be alive. And the name haunting her past “Velvet” was never just a rumor. It’s real. And Damien is connected to it.
Velvet is not just a tech syndicate. It’s a shadow network; one that controls power through information, manipulation and whispered blackmail. As Ava unravels Velvet’s secrets, she realizes her father wasn’t just a casualty; he may have been a founder. Or a threat.
Her growing entanglement with Damien becomes more than emotional, it becomes perilous. Because Damien is no ordinary billionaire. He’s part of the secret she was never supposed to find. And yet, in the fire between them, trust flickers. Is he her enemy, her protector… or both?
As betrayals mount and truths are stripped bare, Ava faces an impossible choice: walk away and live in ignorance or embrace the danger and risk everything; even her heart. With her future hanging in the balance and Velvet closing in, Ava must decide who she is: the broken girl her past left behind… or the woman who could bring the empire to its knees.
In Sin & Silk: Claimed by the Billionaire, passion is a weapon, power is currency and love might just be the most dangerous game of all.
But some truths were never meant to stay buried.
And Ava?
She was never meant to stay quiet.
