Welcome to The Ashford. The walls are listening. At the center of it all is Violette Westbrook, the brilliant and commanding hotel heiress who lives in The Ashford in 4B, a heritage apartment overlooking Gramercy Park in Manhattan. Beautiful, ruthless, and unapologetically ambitious, Violette navigates a world that wants to cage powerful women.
