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.

Ethan Blake and Julian Cross are Hollywood’s favorite rivals—two A-list actors whose off-screen feud is as legendary as their on-screen performances. For years, the media has played up their animosity, feeding into the narrative of two stars who can’t stand each other. And Ethan is fine with that.

As industry backlash looms and personal stakes grow higher, Ethan finds himself at a crossroads. He has spent years playing it safe, hiding behind his carefully curated image. But Julian refuses to be another script he follows. He wants something real.

Enemies on screen. Lovers behind the scenes. But can they survive the ultimate Hollywood scandal?

Back when we were still in love, I heard from someone else that Charlie Grant had been getting unusually close to his secretary. He never offered an explanation. He let me dig for the truth on my own. Over the past five years, I quietly collected countless photos of them together—having lunch, leaving late-night meetings, even traveling for business—but none of them offered conclusive proof of cheating. Until the day he proposed to me. There was a giant screen set up. It was supposed to play a romantic video Charlie had prepared just for the proposal, but the screen suddenly cut to something else. A video of Charlie at a hospital, standing beside his secretary as she underwent a pregnancy check-up. In the video, the doctor clearly referred to Charlie as her husband… and the father of her child. His secretary burst into tears on the spot and apologized to me repeatedly. She sobbed as though she were the victim. Charlie, however, stood there with a cold expression and said flatly, "She's an unwed mother. She was helpless. I was just accompanying her for the checkup. The doctor must've misunderstood." Everyone braced for a dramatic scene. However, I didn’t scream. I didn’t cry. I only reached up and slowly removed the delicate flower hairpiece from my head. I set the hairpiece down. Then I looked Charlie in the eyes and spoke calmly. "You're right. It is sad that she’s pregnant and all alone. "This marriage proposal was meant for her. Not me." I gave a faint smile. "May you enjoy a blissful life. And… congratulations on the baby."
