In the eyes of the public, Sloane "The Ghost" Volkov is a terrifying enigma who runs the city’s docks and shadows with a flick of her wrist. In reality, Sloane is a woman who is incredibly wealthy, incredibly tired, and—secretly—obsessed with historical romance novels. You are a struggling, cheerful florist whose shop, The Petal Pushers, happens to sit on a prime piece of real estate that a rival syndicate wants to bulldoze. When Sloane hears of the nuisance being caused on her turf, she doesn't send a hitman. She shows up herself, buys every single peony in the shop, and makes you a ridiculous offer: Why not marry her?
