Velvet Dominion
Crystal Bennett learned early that the world shows mercy to no one. Life has made her strong, cautious, and quiet. She doesn’t complain, she doesn’t ask for help, and she expects nothing from anyone. The only person who truly knows her past is Greta, her best friend—the only family she has left.
Then Axel Valenti enters her life.
CEO of the Aurelian Group, Axel is a man built on control: power, business, discipline. Cold and impenetrable, he trusts no one. In his world, there is no room for love—only for success.
When Axel chooses Crystal as his personal assistant, she steps into a world of wealth, secrets, and ruthless decisions. As time passes, Crystal begins to realize that behind the man made of ice lies something far darker. And Axel, in turn, starts to see in her something he has never considered necessary before: a weakness.
