The Price of Silence

A High-Stakes Billionaire Romance

By: Ava D Miller

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Colt Ashford does not make requests.
He controls outcomes, markets, and narratives.
When he pulls Sofia Le back into his world, walking away is no longer a clean option.

Sofia already knows what it costs to be visible.
She survived a public collapse that turned grief into spectacle and taught her how quickly power decides who burns. She rebuilt her life in silence, on her own terms. Getting close to Colt threatens everything she fought to protect, including the autonomy she refuses to surrender again.

Colt is precise, restrained, and ruthless when it comes to risk. He needs Sofia because she holds leverage no one else can touch. He wants her because she is the one variable he cannot control. With him, protection and destruction are separated by a single decision.

“Don’t touch me like that,” she whispers.
“Like what?”
“Like you already own the parts of me I’ve never given away.”

As markets tremble and enemies circle, their alliance draws cameras, contracts, and questions that refuse to stay professional. Every move is watched. Every silence is interpreted. Trust becomes a liability and love a public risk no one forgives.

Because if Sofia steps into his spotlight, survival will demand more than strategy.
And if she chooses him, it will not be without consequence.
