“GHOSTED BY GOLD follows the unlikely romance between Jade Carson, a bold and talented 23-year-old artist, and Tony Aldridge, a young tech billionaire with a ghostly reputation. Jade, known for her vibrant murals and unapologetic personality, is carving her own path as a social media artist. Her life is fast-paced and creative, centered around art, friends, and the thrill of going viral. But everything changes when she receives a cryptic message from Tony, an elusive CEO known in Silicon Valley for his mysterious disappearances from the public eye and even from relationships. Despite her suspicions, Jade accepts Tony's offer to paint a mural at his company headquarters, diving into his polished world of tech, wealth, and secrecy. Tony, reserved and weary of attachment due to the pressures of his family legacy, finds himself unexpectedly drawn to Jade's authenticity and passion. Her energy challenges him to step out of his carefully curated, private shell, sparking a connection that neither of them expected. As they spend more time together, their initial professional interactions shift into long conversations, late-night texts, and a flirtation filled with witty banter. Yet, just as they're starting to fall for each other, Tony does what he's famous for which is ghosting. Jade is left confused, hurt, and frustrated, unwilling to let him disappear without understanding why. Determined to get answers, she dives into his world, uncovering dark family secrets, hidden pressures, and the real reasons Tony avoids commitment. She learns that his ghosting is not just a casual habit but a defense against his family's toxic expectations and the scandalous legacy he's been hiding from the public. Faced with mounting pressure from his family and the risk of his secrets being exposed, Tony realizes he can't continue living in hiding. Inspired by Jade's honesty and bravery, he decides to confront his family's influence once and for all, going public about his struggles in a dramatic, heartfelt confession, with Jade by his side. Together, they navigate a newfound freedom, discovering that wealth and status aren't what make life fulfilling. In "Ghosted by Gold," Jade and Tony learn that true happiness lies in vulnerability, love, and breaking free from the ghosts of their pasts”
