VELVET A Novel by Laura Carpenter When Elin Cassia steps into the glare of Paris Fashion Week, she isn't there to applaud. She's there to reclaim what was stolen—her mother's name, her designs, and her future. The empire that bears her family crest was built on betrayal. The man who taught her to surrender is the one who broke her trust. Damien Devaux was once her greatest risk and her safest place—a dominant lover whose every command felt like a prayer. But when his loyalty was bought by her family's rival, Elin vanished, taking with her the only thing he never meant to lose: the truth. Four years later, the catwalk is a crime scene in couture. Ghost-stitched silk, whispered scandals, and one woman ready to burn an empire. Beneath the cameras and contracts lies something more dangerous than revenge: unfinished love. When Elin and Damien collide again, their chemistry is still wildfire—but so are the secrets between them. Now the industry that made them both wants blood. A stolen sketchbook. A velvet-lined contract. A daughter the tabloids call a scandal. As Paris turns its lenses toward the Cassia legacy, Elin must decide if she can trust the man who once destroyed her—or risk everything to build something stronger from the ashes. Velvet is a couture-kink, second-chance romance that threads fashion, family, and power into a story of redemption and surrender. With the intimacy of Normal People and the opulence of The Devil Wears Prada, it explores how love can be both weapon and refuge—and how a woman claiming her name can change everything. Set between Paris and London's art worlds, Velvet ignites with sensuality, betrayal, and heart-piercing tenderness. Elin's journey from silence to self-sovereignty unfolds through velvet textures, legacy secrets, and the fierce devotion of a man who finally understands that control means protection, not possession. For readers of Ana Huang, Sylvia Day, and Sierra Simone, Velvet delivers high-fashion heat with emotional depth—where consent is worship, aftercare is art, and every scar tells a love story. Themes: second chances · dominance and surrender · legacy vs. identity · motherhood and self-worth · couture craftsmanship · love as reclamation
