Grayson Hale. The Ashen King. The man who writes sentences so long they need a GPS to navigate. And I just told him to his face that his book is "emotionally constipated."

The room went silent. My boss looked ready to stroke out. But Grayson? He laughed.
"Finally," he said, staring at me like I was the only interesting thing in the room. "Someone who isn't afraid of me."

Now he won’t let anyone else edit him. He demands my time. My attention. He emails me at 3 AM. He shows up at my desk just to watch me squirm.
"You hate my book, Leila," he says, leaning over my shoulder, smelling like danger. "But you can't stop thinking about it. Or me."

I’m supposed to fix his manuscript. But I think he’s trying to rewrite my life.

In the roaring heart of the Royalkins Empire—where gold-trimmed towers kiss the sky and secrets sleep beneath polished marble—two lives move in quiet orbit, destined to collide long before fate admits it.

Angela Hills has been raised for a throne carved from legacy, duty, and expectation. To the kingdom, she is the empire’s crown jewel: elegant, disciplined, perfect. But behind the palace walls, she is something far more dangerous—curious, restless, and hungry for a life that isn’t scripted by royal decree.
