The Leverage & Lust series
Leverage & Lust
Dark finance romance
“She learned money wasn’t real. Then she stole the machine that prints it.”
A working-class Manchester math prodigy claws her way into the ruthless world of high finance and crypto — trading leverage, revenge, and her body for the edge. Explicit 18+ dark romance.
Prelude
EDGE & EXCESS
“Two suitcases and a grudge — and she left with the keys to the machine.”
Find it on AmazonLara Voss learned one truth on a cold Manchester floor at seven years old: money is a lie the rich tell to keep you small. She just decided to get very, very good at telling it back.
At Imperial College she has no money, no pedigree, and a chip on her shoulder with its own gravity — but she can read a market the way a predator reads a limp. In London’s underground trading dens she builds code that hunts the desperate and takes everything they’ve got. Then Toby Montgomery walks in: floppy-haired, trust-funded, dangerous in all the wrong ways, and offering her the keys to a Chelsea penthouse and the lawless frontier of crypto.
What follows is high-voltage — the deals, the code, the bodies. But when the market finally breaks, only one of them has the nerve to survive it.
She was never going to be someone’s clever girlfriend. She was always going to own the machine.
Book One
Confessions of a Crypto Queen
“She read the fear, rode the leverage, and burned the empire down.”
Find it on AmazonThey taught me the market was a casino. So I learned to own the house.
I came out of a damp Manchester terrace with nothing but a genius for numbers and a hunger that scared people. By twenty-two I was the most profitable rogue trader on the City’s deadliest crypto desk — riding hundred-million-dollar positions, snorting printed money off gold-plated tables, and taking whatever I wanted from the beautiful, ruthless men who thought they were using me.
Jax made me. Then Jax tried to bury me.
He should have known better. I don’t panic when the peg snaps and the screen bleeds red. I read the fear. I find the exit. And when a man locks me in a trap, I don’t beg — I liquidate him.
They called it leverage. They called it lust. I called it the only game worth playing.
This is my confession. Raw, unfiltered, and entirely unrepentant.
