The Bride in the Blackwood File

Synopsis On what should have been the happiest day of her life, Ava Carter is publicly humiliated when she discovers that her fiancé, Ethan Lawson, has been having an affair with her stepsister, Chloe. Worse still, her own family knew about the betrayal and sacrificed her for a powerful business deal. Heartbroken and abandoned at the altar, Ava's life takes an unexpected turn when the enigmatic billionaire Damien Blackwood appears with a shocking proposal: a one-year contract marriage that will solve both of their problems. But what begins as a simple arrangement quickly spirals into something far more dangerous. When a forged signature, a mysterious lawsuit, and a decades-old secret connect Ava to the powerful Blackwood family, she discovers that her life has been built on lies. Hidden files, stolen evidence, attempted attacks, and cryptic messages reveal a truth no one wants uncovered. Why did Damien's grandfather keep a file on Ava for eighteen years? Who is desperately trying to erase the past? And why does every clue lead back to a tragedy at St. Mary's Hospital on the day Ava was born? As Ava and Damien fight powerful enemies determined to keep the truth buried, their fake marriage begins to feel dangerously real. But the closer they get to the answers, the more they realize that their lives were connected long before they ever met. Some secrets can destroy families. Some can start wars. And some can change who you are forever.
