Héritages – Tome 1 : Au cœur des apparences
Zara Moretti’s life changes with a single announcement.
One minute, she is standing beneath crystal chandeliers pretending not to panic while cameras flash in her face. The next, the entire city knows she is engaged to Alaric Moreau, the cold and impossibly wealthy heir to one of the most powerful families in New York.
A man she barely knows.
A man who doesn't really say much, yet somehow notices everything about her.
To the public, their engagement is the merger of two influential families.
But behind the designer smiles and champagne-filled galas, Zara quickly realizes something is terribly wrong.
The Moreaus are hiding secrets.
Old ones that could be dangerous.
And somewhere beneath Evelyn Moreau’s polite smiles and Richard Moreau’s calculated charm lies a quiet hostility Zara cannot quite explain.
Zara has unknowingly walked straight into the center of a family that may have chosen her for reasons far darker than marriage.
Set against the backdrop of luxury galas, whispered family conspiracies, old money scandals, and a romance neither of them intended, The Heart of Appearance is a slow-burning story about power, betrayal, family, and two people discovering that sometimes the most dangerous thing is not falling in love.
It is breaking apart because of it.
