Her Seductress (Midnight Garden Book 1)

Lux Schroeder is the ultimate thrill-seeker, drifting through life between high-stakes parties and short-lived flings. However, her carefree existence shatters when her wealthy parents demand she secure a respectable future or forfeit her entire inheritance. Desperate to maintain her lifestyle, Lux inadvertently crosses paths with Sloane White, a powerful, guarded mogul who treats her heart with the same iron-clad discipline as her business empire. When a public mishap throws the two women into a media firestorm, Sloane proposes a scandalous solution: a calculated fake relationship to rehabilitate their public images. For the ice queen, it is strictly business. For the vivacious Lux, it is a game she intends to win. But as they play the part of the perfect couple, the barrier between performance and reality begins to crack. Underneath the glossy photos and scripted dates, a volatile chemistry ignites, one that neither woman is prepared to handle. As their carefully constructed facade begins to fray, Lux and Sloane must decide if they are willing to risk their reputations—and their hearts—for the sake of a truth neither expected to find. This sizzling, high-stakes romance kicks off the Midnight Garden series, blending sharp wit with undeniable, simmering tension.
