The Price of Velvet

They said the Devil walked in velvet shoes.

No one believed it—until Seraphina danced with him.

The winter masquerade at the Ashbourne estate was where she first saw him. Everyone wore gold and ivory. He came in black. A raven mask. Gloved hands. Eyes like sin.

He didn’t ask her to dance. He simply extended a hand.

And she gave him hers.

As they moved across the marble floor, it felt like the world held its breath. He smelled of smoke and secrets. His touch burned through the silk of her gown.
