THE DRAY DYNASTY: LEGACY OF DECEPTION

THE DRAY DYNASTY: LEGACY OF DECEPTION

Book One: Legacy of Deception ​The contract is over. The war has just begun. ​Five years ago, Kate Jones survived the wreckage of her family’s empire and walked into a cold, transactional marriage with the "Ice King" of Greensville, William Dray. Together, they dismantled her uncle’s greed and turned a marriage of convenience into a formidable union. ​But at the glittering five-year anniversary gala of the Dray-Morrison merger, the ghosts of the past decide to RSVP. ​It starts with a gift—a charred wedding ring that should have been lost in the plane crash that killed Kate’s parents. It continues with a hostile takeover led by Lawrence Knight, a shadow from the "Old Guard" who holds a blackmail lever over William that could dismantle their entire lives. ​With the sudden escape of the psychopathic Clark Dawson from a high-security prison and an unholy alliance between the vengeful Ciara and the spurned Gabriella, the Dray family is no longer just fighting for shares—they are fighting for survival. ​As Kate digs into the "Singapore Accounts" and the truth behind the flight that killed her parents, she realizes her father’s legacy wasn't built on tech, but on secrets that certain people would kill to keep buried. This time, there is no contract to protect them. To save their dynasty and their child, the Ice King and his Queen must decide how far into the darkness they are willing to go. ​Some secrets were meant to stay buried but some enemies never stay dead. ​Series Note ​The Dray Dynasty is an ongoing romantic thriller series. Legacy of Deception is the first installment of the second-generation arc, continuing the story from the bestselling standalone, Married to the Cold Billionaire.

Chapter: BEGINNING OF BOOK TWO, SERIES 2
GRAND FINALE OF BOOK ONE, SERIES 1 Twenty years later I stood in the same ballroom where I'd first exposed Carlos, except now it was filled with college students instead of corporate sharks. The Jones Foundation Annual Scholarship Gala had become the event of the year. Fifty full ride scholarships awarded tonight to kids who'd otherwise never see a university campus. "Mom, your speech is in five minutes." Evelyn appeared at my elbow looking sharp in a navy suit. Twenty-five now and already making waves as Jones-Dray Corp's youngest VP. "You ready?" "As ready as I'll ever be." I adjusted my mother's locket that I still wore every day. "Where's your father?" "Arguing with Jamie about his thesis topic." She rolled her eyes. "Again." I found them in the corner, my twenty-three year old son gesturing wildly while William tried to look stern but was clearly proud. "Paleontology is a legitimate field Dad." Jamie's voice carried across the room. "Just because it doesn't make mill

Chapter: THE END OF ONE STORY,THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER
CHAPTER 93: THE END OF ONE STORY, THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER The new estate sat on twenty acres outside the city, far enough from the chaos but close enough that we weren't completely isolated. I stood on the back porch watching Evelyn chase Jamie through the garden while William directed the last of the movers. My hand rested on my growing belly where baby number three did gymnastics. "This is really happening." Tina appeared beside me with two glasses of lemonade. "You're actually leaving the city." "Just the address." I took a glass gratefully. "Not the life." "It's going to be different though." She looked worried. "No more impromptu lunch meetings. No more me showing up at your office when I'm bored." "You'll visit." I bumped her shoulder. "Besides, you and Liam need the practice. For when you have your own chaos." "One thing at a time." But she was smiling. "Wedding first, babies later." "Smart woman." William came out wiping sweat from his forehead. "Last box is

Chapter: A BROTHERS LOVE
CHAPTER 92: A BROTHER'S LOVEEvelyn took the pregnancy announcement very seriously."I need to teach Jamie how to be a good big sibling." She announced at breakfast three days after we told them. "Because he doesn't know anything.""Hey!" Jamie's lower lip jutted out. "I know stuff.""You still sleep with Mr Dino." Evelyn pointed at the stuffed dinosaur he'd brought to the table. "Babies can't see that or they'll think you're not grown up.""Mr Dino is grown up." Jamie clutched the toy tighter. "Tell her Daddy."William hid his smile behind his coffee cup. "Mr Dino is very mature for his age.""See?" Jamie stuck his tongue out at his sister."That's not mature." Evelyn rolled her eyes in a way that looked exactly like me. "Mommy, tell him.""How about we all practice being mature by eating breakfast without arguing?" I spooned oatmeal into bowls. "The baby won't be here for months. You have time to figure it out.""I already figured it out." Evelyn pulled out a notebook covered in sti

Chapter: THE FAMILY HEIRLOOM
CHAPTER 91: THE FAMILY HEIRLOOMFive years later I was cleaning out the attic when I found it.The box was tucked behind old Christmas decorations and photo albums, covered in dust thick enough to write my name in. I almost threw it out with the other junk until I saw my mother's handwriting on the side."For Kate, when she's ready."My hands shook as I opened it. Inside was a locket I'd seen my mother wear a thousand times but thought was buried with her. Gold and delicate, with tiny flowers etched into the surface.I opened it carefully. On one side was a photo of my parents on their wedding day, young and impossibly happy. On the other side was a photo of me as a baby, no more than a few months old.A note fell out when I lifted the locket."My darling Kate, if you're reading this then I'm gone and you've survived everything we feared might happen. This locket belonged to your grandmother and her mother before that. Four generations of Jones women who loved fiercely and fought for

"She's fed, changed, not too hot or cold. Why won't she stop crying?"William took her from my shaking hands. "Go back to bed Kate. I've got this.""You have work in three hours.""So do you." He bounced Evelyn gently. "And you're running on maybe two hours of sleep total. Go."I wanted to argue but exhaustion won. I collapsed into bed and passed out immediately.When I woke up three hours later, panic hit instantly. The house was too quiet.I rushed downstairs to find William at his laptop with Evelyn sleeping in a carrier strapped to his chest. He was typing one handed while the other supported her head."You're working." I stated the obvious."Conference call in ten minutes. Figured I could do both." He didn't look up. "She finally fell asleep twenty minutes ago. I'm too scared to move.""William, you can't work

Chapter: THE FIRST MOMENT
CHAPTER 89: THE FIRST MOMENTSThey finally let us take Evelyn back to our private room after six hours of observation. Six hours of watching her breathe through monitors and wires, of nurses assuring us she was fine while my heart refused to believe it."Ready to hold her?" The NICU nurse, Patricia, smiled at William. "Dad's turn."He'd been hovering since we got to the hospital but hadn't actually held her yet. Now he looked terrified."I don't know how." His voice came out rough. "What if I drop her?""You won't." I was already exhausted but seeing him scared made me smile. "She's tougher than she looks."Patricia showed him how to support Evelyn's head, how to cradle her against his chest. The moment she settled in his arms, his whole face changed."Oh." It came out as barely a whisper. "She's so light.""Five pounds three ounces." I reminded him. "That's actually good for premature."But William wasn't listening. He was staring at Evelyn like she was the only thing that existed. S

THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE

THE LUNA'S RETURN FROM EXILE

Betrayed by blood. Saved by fate. Bound by a fire no exile can extinguish. After being wrongly accused of murder and cast into exile, a weak she-wolf must navigate a world where danger waits behind every tree—and love burns where she least expects it. Mira has spent her life overlooked, dismissed as a burden despite the quiet strength she carries within. But when the head chief of her pack is murdered and the blame falls on her, Mira is stripped of her home, her name, and her future. Cast out into the wilderness, she prepares to die alone—until fate leads her to the border of a strange new pack. There, Mira is rescued by a bold girl and her quiet friend, Elric—a sword-wielding warrior raised among humans, who carries secrets behind his cold gaze. Forced to prove herself through brutal trials, Mira begins to rise in a way no one expected. But Elric sees something in her—something fierce and unclaimed. And though they clash at first, a hidden fire begins to kindle between them. When war arrives at the new pack’s doorstep, Mira and Elric fight side by side. As steel meets fang, Mira realizes Elric isn’t just human—he may be the key to unraveling the conspiracy behind her exile. And when a nearly stolen kiss threatens to change everything, Mira is left questioning who she really is—and what she’s truly capable of becoming. In a world where wolves follow strength, and secrets can kill, Mira must embrace the fire inside her or be silenced forever. After all, exile wasn't the end of her story. It was only the beginning.

I think there are fifty hunters and they're fighting civilians and kids and—" Her voice stopped because of screaming. I heard people yelling and howling."Elara!" I shouted into the phone.

"You have been playing both sides from the beginning."Vera stood in the church doorway. She was backlit by fire from the battle. She was completely calm while chaos raged around her. "Finally you figured it out. I was wondering how long it would take.""You killed River." Lunas voice was raw. "You made sure she was alone. You made sure the hunters knew where to hit.""That girls death served a purpose." Veras tone did not change. She sounded clinical and cold. "Every death in this war has served a purpose. The Moonborn needed to be angry enough to fight back. The ancient families needed to feel threatened enough to commit everything. I orchestrated the conditions for mutual destruction."My hands were shaking with rage. "You are insane.""I'm pragmatic "

"I told you to bring a few.""Six people is not a lot " I said. I kept my hands where he could see them. I did not have any weapons. "Especially when we are meeting with a family that has been trying to hurt us for months."He nodded. "That is a point." He stepped into a beam of light. I saw him clearly. He was very old. His face and hands had a lot of lines and scars. "My name is Theron Silvanus. I am not related to your leader even though we have the last name.""I am Mira " I said. I did not shake his hand. "Why are we here?"He said, "I am tired of all the fighting. It is pointless." He pointed to the benches. "Please sit down. This conversation will be better if we are not all ready to fight."Nobody moved.Theron said, "My granddaughter died three days ago. She was seventeen years old. She was killed by the Corvinus family during a fight. T

The rain was falling like the sky was crying with us. "She spent eight years running and hiding just trying to survive.. When she finally stood up for herself they killed her."I looked over at the pyre where Rivers body lay wrapped in cloth. She was so small and young. I felt a pang of guilt and sadness. "I promised River that we would make it safe for Moonborn like her to exist " I said, my hands clenched into fists. "I promised her she wouldn't have to run.. I failed her."Lunas voice cut through the rain. "You didn't fail River, Mira " she said. She was standing at the edge of the crowd her face streaked with tears and rain. "River chose to fight. She chose to protect what mattered to her. Don't take that away from her by feeling guilty."Lunas words hit me hard. She was right. It didn't make me feel any better. I was still filled wi

Ariella is three, sitting on a blanket with her collection of rocks spread out in careful rows.Music drifts up from a speaker someone left outside. Something soft and classical. Damien sweeps Pierce up and starts spinning him around in a clumsy dance. Pierce laughs so hard he hiccups."Dance, Daddy! Dance more!"Ariella looks up from her rocks. "Me too!"Damien sets Pierce down and bows dramatically to his daughter. "May I have this dance, princess?"She stands and puts her tiny hand in his. He lifts her up and they sway to the music, her head resting on his shoulder.Selene's eyes sting with tea

He emerges victorious, truck in hand.Pierce immediately stops crying and grabs it. "Thank you, Daddy!""You're welcome, buddy."Damien sits at the kitchen table and Selene hands him his coffee. He takes a sip and sighs like it's the best thing he's ever tasted."What's on the agenda today?" she asks."Julius wants to discuss the quarterly reports but I told him I can't make it into the office. I have more important plans.""Oh? What plans?""Building a blanket fort with my kids. Very important business."

Morning sun filters through leaves, creating patterns of light and shadow.Damien walks alone down the gravel path. His hands are buried in his pockets. His steps slow as he approaches a newer section where grass hasn't fully grown in.Daniel's headstone is simple granite. No elaborate carving. Just his name, dates, and one line.Beloved Son and BrotherThe words feel like a lie but they're also true. Once, Daniel was his beloved brother before everything twisted and broke.Damien stands staring at the stone. He hasn't been here since the funeral, the funeral wasn't big, it was just a small gathering. That day was a blur of guilt and relief and confusion about what he was supposed to feel."I don't know why I'm here." His voice sounds too loud. "You tried to kill me, you kidnapped my children an

Seventy-five people had filled the seats. The people that matter.Selene stands in her bedroom looking at herself in the mirror. The dress was a simple ivory silk that flowed to the floor. No veil and no elaborate beadwork. All she wanted was a clean line that made her feel beautiful without trying too hard.Natasha sits on the bed holding both babies. Pierce wears a tiny navy suit while Ariella was in a white dress with pink flowers embroidered on the hem."You look perfect," Natasha said to them, believing they could hear her."I'm so nervous, we already did a contract marriage before and now we are about to do it the right way. I'm really nervous.""Because this time it's real." Natasha said, lifting her eyes from Ariella to look at Selene.A soft knock came on the door and Lady Lina entered ca

Damien doesn't look at him. His eyes stay fixed on a spot on the wall. "But what choice do I have?""We could set a trap. Use the exchange as bait.""And if he figures it out? If he gets spooked and runs?" Damien finally turns his head. "Then I lose my only chance to get them back."Julius steps forward and clears his throat. "What if we do both? You make the confession and transfer the money like he wants, but we also track him. Set up surveillance at the exchange point.""He'll be watching for that," Zayne says. He crosses his arms over his chest. "Daniel isn't stupid. He'll have people checking for cops and the FBI.""Then we make sure he doesn't see them." Agent Greg stands and walks to the window.

The fair lady said.Damien's arms tighten around his wife. He can't let them take her away."Sir, please. We have to examine her." The other lady begged.His muscles finally unlock. He lowers Selene onto the gurney, his hands shaking as they leave her body. Her chest rises and falls in shallow breaths.
