heiress

When the Hale empire collapses under corruption charges, twenty-six-year-old Isla Hale becomes collateral damage. Her father faces prison, their fortune is gone, and every door in London slams shut. The only man with enough power to save him is the one who ruined him, Alexander Ward, her father’s former partner and sworn enemy. Alexander agrees to erase the debt, but his price is personal. One year. Under his roof. Under his control. Isla signs the contract out of loyalty, but soon realizes she’s trapped in something far more complicated than revenge. Alexander is cold, calculated, and brutally honest, yet the man she’s supposed to hate is also the first to treat her like an equal mind. Their clashes become the only thing that feels real in a life built on lies. As the months pass, the balance shifts. Isla learns the ruthless world Alexander moves through... boardrooms, betrayals, negotiations that feel like battles. He teaches her to fight, to read power, to stop apologizing. Somewhere between fury and fascination, the tension between them becomes impossible to ignore. Then the contract leaks to the press. Overnight, Isla is branded as the CEO’s mistress and Alexander as a monster. Her father resurfaces, spinning the story to destroy them both and reclaim his position. The empire she thought she wanted to protect turns against her. But Isla isn’t the naïve girl who walked into Alexander’s office a year ago. She takes control, exposes her father’s crimes, and risks everything to clear Alexander’s name. In the process, she proves that she’s not a pawn in anyone’s game... not even his. When the dust settles, Alexander offers her freedom. She chooses to stay. Not because of the deal. Because she’s no longer his rival’s daughter. She’s his partner.

My engagement ended in humiliation. One moment, I was the bride-to-be. Next, my fiancé was slipping a ring onto another woman’s finger—nope, not just anyone, my half-sister! And the whole city watched. So I did the unthinkable. I kissed the one man I was never supposed to touch—his aloof, very hot, useless uncle. Dominic Fletcher. It was supposed to be revenge. A scandal to wipe away my shame. Until he stole my bra—and with it, my senses… and my already fragile heart. “Give it back!” I demanded, reaching for my bra, but he only lifted it higher. “I’ll keep this as a memento, Kitten,” he murmured, eyes dark, voice dangerously seductive. But Dominic Fletcher was far from useless. Behind the nonchalant façade was a ruthless power only I had glimpsed. And now, he wants to help me take my revenge— “Marry me, sweetness,” Dominic rasped, gaze sharp as steel. “I’ll make everyone who offended you a foot mat. What do you say?” How could I say no? I’d do anything to make that worthless, piece-of-shit scumbag ex lose sleep for the rest of his life and become his worst nightmare. So I said yes—to his uncle. I became his aunt-in-law. Then I returned, victorious and unbroken. My family pleaded for me to forgive them. My ex-fiancé fell to his knees, clutching my hand. “Let’s start again, Harper,” he begged. “You’re the only one I cherish.” I stared at him icily. “Excuse me, boy. Do I know you?”

Sera Kim is everything the campus adores: bright, cheerful, and impossibly warm—a living “Sunshine” whose laughter fills the halls of Seorim University. But the girl everyone sees is only a mask. Beneath the warmth and playful charm lies Seraphina Vale, a brilliant, cold, and calculating young woman who has already graduated early from another college. Every choice she’s made, every step she’s taken, has been for one purpose: Julian Lee. Julian is the young, stoic, and enigmatic economics professor whose perfection commands respect and inspires awe. He is disciplined, sharp, and untouchable—but Sera has loved him openly for years. Unlike ordinary crushes, her affection is fearless and unapologetic—so visible that everyone on campus knows, yet so profound that no one can truly understand its depth. In her final year, Sera no longer hides behind subtle admiration. She expresses her love boldly, laughing in class, lingering near him, and letting the world witness her devotion. Julian remains unreadable, neither reciprocating nor rejecting, but his quiet attention keeps hope alive. Beneath the Sunshine is a story of love, identity, and courage—where the radiant persona of Sera Kim conceals the strength and depth of Seraphina Vale. It’s a tale of loving openly, pursuing relentlessly, and daring to stand in the light of someone’s gaze without fear. Will her unwavering devotion melt Julian’s cold exterior, or will it remain an unrequited passion that defines her final year?

[EXCERPT] “I wanted to know if the offer you proposed to me yesterday was still valid. About getting married and financing a business of my own.” I kept my pitch even as I spoke. “Hmm…” “I thought you said, and I quote, ‘You must be insane, Mr. Evander. If you think I’m like you—crazy—then you’re very wrong. I will never ever ever ever ever do anything as sinful as getting married to you. Not to talk of giving birth to your child just for the sake of business.’ “Then you stormed out of the private room that I’d graciously invited you to. You broke my fragile heart and ego.” Camden clutched his chest and feigned a pained look. “On the phone, you told me the offer was still on the table.” I countered. “That was on the phone. This is face-to-face. And I suddenly realize that your nose is a bit crooked. What if you give birth to a kid whose nose is pointing towards the west?” Camden said.
