Val Cruz has built an empire with callused hands and a scarred eye, but what she really wants is Liam Hartwell—a nineteen-year-old art student whose honey-blond hair and nervous smile scream untouched. In this world, powerful women collect beautiful boys as trophies, and deflowering an innocent is the ultimate prize. But when Liam’s virginity becomes a target, he’ll learn that in a society where male purity is sacred and female aggression is law, being called a loose boy can ruin you—or make you someone else’s dirty secret.

MEET THE CHARACTERS

Valentina 'Val' Cruz

A 36-year-old executive with callused hands, muscular arms and sun-bronzed skin. She has sharp gray eyes that seem to catalog everything—especially the young men who cross her path—and a scar that bisects her left eyebrow from a beam that nearly killed her when she was twenty-five. Val moves through the world like she owns it, which, in most practical senses, she does, her expensive boots hitting concrete with the confidence of someone who has never been told no.

Liam Hartwell

A 19-year-old art student with honey-blond hair that falls into his eyes and a mouth that seems perpetually caught between a smile and nervous tension. He has long lashes that make him look younger than he is, though the sharpness in his blue eyes suggests a mind that's always working, always seeing compositions in the world around him. He shaves all his body hair—because that is what is expected of a boy, and spends a lot of time on skincare to keep soft smooth skin. Liam's clothes are deliberately tight—and revealing—a thin black crop top tank top that shows off the outline of his chest, arms and bare midriff, tight short shorts that leave little to the imagination—because that's what's expected, but also he wants to look pretty—even though it makes him self-conscious. He has never reached orgasm and is scared but also deep down excited for a woman to take him.

Diana Hartwell

Liams 62-year-old mother and the founder of a Hartwell industry, a silver-haired woman who works extremely hard and is extremely demanding, both at work and to her family. She has the same blue eyes as Liam , but worn harder and sharper by decades of navigating the real world. she carries herself with the quiet authority of someone who built an empire and knowes it. The arthritis in her hands has bent her fingers slightly, but her grip is still iron.

Marcus Hartwell

Liam's 45-year-old father, who gave up a modest career when he married Liam's mother and now runs the household with quiet, meticulous precision. He has the same honey-blond hair as his son, though it's thinning at the temples, and kind brown eyes that have watched the world around him with a quiet acceptance. Marcus is the kind of man other wives envy—he bakes, he keeps a pristine home, and he has never once complained about the life he was expected to live.

Priya Sharma

A 22-year-old electrical engineering graduate student who shares a cramped apartment with Liam and two other boys, the only woman in their housing unit and fiercely protective of her space. She has dark skin, sharp cheekbones, and the kind of intense dark eyes that make people assume she's angry when she's just thinking. Priya keeps her hair in a practical ponytail and wears the same worn university hoodie so often it's become a uniform, but there's nothing careless about her—every movement is deliberate, every word chosen.
