Goodness Ogu
Daphne Beckett is the poised heir to Arkett Holdings, one of Toronto’s most powerful real-estate empires. For the first time in her life, she has chosen something for herself: Warren Sterling, a brilliant architect with no inherited name, no family fortune, and no patience for the ruthless world her father controls.
On the eve of their engagement, Warren discovers evidence connecting Arkett Holdings to the suspicious death of his father, an engineer killed after uncovering corruption at the Halcyon Quay development. Before he can expose the truth, Warren is framed for embezzlement, falsely implicated in a betrayal with Daphne’s younger sister, and abducted.
Daphne is left with convincing proof that Warren stole from her family and abandoned her. Broken and isolated, she accepts comfort from Mason Cooper, the self-made billionaire CEO who has wanted her from the moment he saw her. Mason becomes her protector, her public ally, and eventually the father of her unborn child.
But Warren is alive.
When he returns after months of captivity, scarred and furious, he brings a truth capable of destroying Arkett Holdings, Sonwells Construction, Mason Cooper, and Daphne’s belief that her father ever loved her. As a war erupts between corporate empires and old secrets become public, Daphne must choose her own future for the first time before the men who have controlled her life bury the truth forever.
