Becoming Victoria
DarkWidow1977
Every mask cracks. Some are broken on purpose.
Victoria Reynolds thought her art was the only way she bared her soul. Each canvas was a confession in color, a truth she would never dare to speak aloud.
Until Alexander Jennings noticed.
Wealthy. Magnetic. Mercilessly composed. He saw what others dismissed - the fractures beneath her restraint - and summoned her into his world with a single sealed envelope. A commission, he called it. Generous pay. Discretion required.
But when she steps inside Jennings House, Victoria learns the truth: the commission is not about paint or canvas. It is about her.
Alexander is steel, unyielding in his gaze.
Sasha Montgomery is silk, dangerous in her softness.
Together, they strip away her defenses, testing what lies behind the mask she has always worn.
Caught between fear and desire, shame and surrender, Victoria must decide: will she cling to the safety of the life she knows... or risk everything to become what they see in her?
