Ruled by Rivalry

The Ashwood Empire: Rivalry, Luxury, Glamour — and a whole lot of Tension

After graduating from Hall Beck University, Maeve Peterson is ready to take the city that never sleeps by storm. Landing an internship at ADELINE ASHWOOD, the biggest luxury house in the world, shouldn’t be surprising to her. Maeve has always dreamed of working in fashion, and through sheer determination and a routine she barely derives from, everything always works out for Maeve. Perfectly.

Until she walks into the Ashwood offices and realizes there’s a difference between college life and the real world–and that she seems to thrive less in the latter. Especially when Elliot Ashwood gets involved: youngest heir of the Ashwood empire and her new colleague. But their rivalry becomes hard to maintain when she continues finding him in disarmingly intimate situations in their shared apartment.
