the Velvet Throne: she was invisible for thirty years... until world's most dangerous billionaire discovered what truly was.

She was invisible for thirty years. Then he found her. Elara Vale is thirty-four years old - divorced, financially struggling, quietly brilliant. She restores antique books for wealthy collectors in London, spending her days in silence with things that are old and forgotten. She has learned not to want too much. One evening, she touches a centuries-old manuscript and every light in the room bows. Not dims. Bows. The symbol hidden inside changes everything. It connects her to an ancient feminine bloodline believed extinct for two hundred years - and places her directly in the path of Lucien Arden. Mysterious. Dangerous. Feared by governments. Secretly the leader of a hidden order controlling global wealth, art, and political influence for six centuries. Lucien has been searching for Elara for eleven years. Because she is the final heir to The Velvet Throne - an ancient power capable of influencing emotion, ambition, and desire itself. A power that awakens slowly, beautifully, and at devastating cost. Every man who falls genuinely in love with her becomes dangerously obsessed. Including him. From London's secret medieval libraries to a sun-drenched Mediterranean island to an ancient castle carved into a Scottish cliff, The Velvet Throne is a dark, intoxicating journey into power, identity, forbidden attraction, and one woman's discovery that she was never ordinary. She was simply waiting to be found. Perfect for fans of A Court of Thorns and Roses, Fifty Shades of Grey, and The Silent Patient. Book One of The Velvet Throne Series - The Crimson Crown coming soon.
