They wanted her. Not her mother. Sloane Kingsley was raised on privilege and appearances, but when her stepfather dies and the fortune dries up, she and her social-climbing mother are left clinging to fading status inside the storied walls of The Astoria. Ellis and Brooks van Alen—billionaire brothers, impossibly powerful and devastatingly handsome—live in the penthouse above them. Sloane’s mother sets her sights on them… but it’s Sloane who catches theirs. She’s twenty-one. Innocent, lonely, and used to being used. They’re older, ruthless, and used to getting what they want—especially when they both want the same thing. They offer her a scandalous move in with them, become theirs, and leave the rest behind. What begins as forbidden pleasure soon burns into something deeper. But in a world built on power, desire, and legacy, love might be the riskiest game of all.
