Queen of Jewels

The Story

Ava Reed abandons her corporate law career to chase a jewelry design dream. While helping a hypoglycemic man on the street, she accidentally meets Julian Arden, the CEO of Arden Group. Despite a messy first impression, Ava impresses executives with her drafting skills. Lacking GIA certification, she starts as Julian's executive assistant instead of a designer. Dismissed as a coffee runner, she proves her worth by creating a moonstone necklace and exposing hazardous metals from Redwood Gem Supply. Julian falls for her resilience, but his mother tries to force a marriage with Wall Street heiress Sophia Sterling. Refusing to be seen as a favorite, Ava resigns to launch Aveline Atelier. Sophia sabotages her with ruined files and smear campaigns, yet Ava uses her legal mind to win the Meridian Arcade flagship bid. Julian steps in as an equal partner when a global conglomerate targets her supply chain. He proposes with a pink diamond ring inspired by her first sketch, Urban Eclipse, uniting them in love and empire.
