About this listen

Golden Crown Literary Society 2022 Debut Novel Award Winner

Hitting rock bottom in the concrete jungle of Manhattan, investigative journalist Jamie Walker lands the assignment of a lifetime: find the most elusive artist of a generation, who has enthralled the art and fashion world for over a decade.

This assignment is supposed to finally be Jamie's ticket to journalistic fame and fortune. The quest, however, proves to be difficult, as—so far—nobody has managed to discover who the legendary DeVor really is.

As Jamie delves deeper into the mysteries surrounding the enigmatic artist, trying to salvage her stagnant career, she risks getting in over her head and losing her heart in the process.

Contains mature themes.

Absolutely Gorgeous!

Abby Craden is one of my all time favorite Narrators and in this thrilling audiobook she does not disappoint. The story is riveting, beautiful, seductive, empowering, and all together absolutely gorgeous! The characters are rich and multifaceted. This story was so engaging it was really hard to put on pause. My wife and I spent several nights staying up till very late to listen. We both thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook.

If you enjoyed "The Devil Wears Prada" and are looking for a lesbian love story version (with a little justice for SA victims mixed in), then this story is absolutely for you.

Just absolutely breathtaking and wonderful! I didn’t want it to end! Milena McKay and Abby Craden are the best combo and words can’t describe the flawless writing and narration!

Wow

Didn’t know the author but was more than pleasantly surprised with this one. Don’t be on the fence about getting this. It’s more than worth the credit/purchase and time. Honestly in awe.

Amazing Chemistry and Beautiful writing

I couldn’t get enough of the protagonists. All the characters were great but the admiration and longing by both romantic leads was just what I needed! The writing was beautiful, sophisticated, and engaging. The voice acting really made every chapter pop. I’ll definitely listen to this a few more times.

Such a captivating story

I was graced by such amazing penmanship that I was left speechless and captivated. That’s all I’m saying. Spoilers are not my forte.

Magnificent Writing

This audiobook was just released yesterday and I binge-listened! Milena McKay is simply brilliant. I can’t believe this was her first book! The story is complex, beautiful, and flowed so smoothly that it took my breath away…and Abby Craden’s narration was incredible.
I think I actually enjoyed this more than The Headmistress. Vivian and Jamison are two characters I will never forget.

Seriously I didnt feel too great about it based on the summery but I gave it a shot because it was narrated by Abby Craden and I really enjoyed The Headmistress.
So happy I did

Such a story!

Holy cow. Amazing. Not your typical fluffy romance. This author definitely knows how to put some meat in her stories. The characters are very well developed. I fell in love with all of them. Just can't get over how good of a storyteller the author is. Right when you think you know what's going to happen, there's a curve. At least three times as I was listening I had a quick intake of breath and "ohhhhh". The love scenes were amazing. Hot! And the narrator, Abby Craden, well, come on, she could read a phone book and make it sound sexy. Will surely be listening to this one over and over.
