Gilded Silence
Every empire keeps one room unlit. The new assistant just found the key.
SOME SECRETS COME WITH A SALARY.
Behind the
first choice.
Wren Salas takes a job that pays too well and inherits a desk that belonged to a woman who died. The heir who hired Wren keeps the terrace locked. His security chief is quietly collecting evidence. With family bills waiting at home, asking the wrong question could cost more than a career.
At the Ashford group, a generous salary buys access to a world of private elevators, careful hospitality, and questions that nobody asks twice. For Wren, the job offers a way to help family. The ledger left behind by the previous assistant offers something much harder to ignore.
Adrian Ashford can be attentive, private, and controlling in the same breath. Security chief Sabine Okonkwo puts her faith in records, but her investigation makes trusting anyone inside the building complicated. Wren has to decide which kind of protection leaves room to choose.
A corporate thriller and slow burn romance unfold together. Gather evidence, hold professional boundaries, and navigate the pressure of needing an income from the very people whose story you may have to challenge.
