The Aperture Trilogy
Celeste Bianchi & Dominic Thorne
The investor sent to save her magazine is the secret architect of its destruction. She is about to fall for him anyway.
Three novels, one fire
Aperture is dying. New York's most legendary fashion glossy, the only family overlooked editor Celeste Bianchi has ever built, is bleeding readers, advertisers, and time. So when a magnetic outside investor walks in to save it, Celeste lets herself hope. She shouldn't. Dominic Thorne is composed, exacting, and the first man who has ever truly seen her. And behind a wall of holding companies, he is the empire devouring everything she loves.
You know it from page one. She does not. That is the trap.
Across three addictive books, Celeste builds the relaunch that could save Aperture, never knowing it is the very weapon designed to take it. Every late night is forbidden. Every tender beat is a tightening noose. And the man whose signature sits on her magazine’s execution order is the one she cannot stop wanting.
One couple. One continuous arc. Three complete books, and a guaranteed, joyful, no-cheating happily-ever-after.

Conflict of Interest
He was sent to save her magazine. The reader knows he came to bury it.
Celeste Bianchi has spent a decade as the uncredited creative soul of Aperture, the brilliant one whose name never makes the masthead. The magazine is the only family she has ever had, and it is months from going under. Then Dominic Thorne arrives: the rescue investor the board has pinned its survival on, everything she should resent, and the first man who watches her work like no one ever has. The bylaws forbid it. She falls anyway. And you already know what he is really hiding.

Hostile Takeover
The secret is a noose. And it is tightening around the only love she has ever let herself want.
The line is crossed. Celeste and Dominic are partners now, in the relaunch that could save Aperture and in stolen, forbidden hours behind locked doors. For the first time, the woman who survives by being indispensable lets herself feel kept. But the siege is closing in, the questions are getting harder to wave away, and when the truth begins to surface she makes a choice: to believe him. You already know the cost of that choice. You have known since page one.

Going Public
The man who weaponized love must be disarmed by it, or lose her, and everything, for good.
Everything is out in the open now. The worst is known, and the dread that powered three books converts into reckoning. The empire that made Dominic untouchable is the empire that has to fall, and the only way to save the family Celeste built is to risk being more exposed than either of them has ever survived. This is the redemption and the triumphant public payoff the whole trilogy was built toward: both wounds healed, the found family defended, and a happily-ever-after that is earned, joyful, and never in doubt.
