The Lives We Stitch
In the cutthroat world of high fashion, Victoria Laurent is a force to be reckoned with. She's rebuilt her empire, mended the cracks, and stands on the precipice of global dominance.

With her enigmatic lover, Nico, by her side, Victoria plunges into the glittering chaos of Paris Fashion Week, unaware that a new, charismatic adversary, Leo Castellen, is pulling strings from the shadows. As loyalty is tested and control slips, Victoria must uncover the truth before her meticulously stitched life unravels completely.
