The Inadequate Heir

Two people with different agendas are forced into an arranged marriage. For Veronica Nicholas, it is to save her family's business that has been saddled with debt and on the verge of slipping into bankruptcy and for Lawrence Williams, it is to hold onto his inheritance as the only son and heir of a conglomerate family. Veronica could never leave her darling boyfriend for the infamous national playboy nor does Lawrence wish to leave her long time crush who finally accepted his feelings after many months of rejection for a stranger he barely knows. Together the two must sign a secret contract that lets them live their desired lives while being in their arranged marriage. But how long does the life they thought was best for them last? Stuck together, Veronica and Lawrence must find a way to work together to get past the struggles of their everyday lives from their never ending enemies. Hatred at first but being in the same place where they see all the good and bad sides of each other, how long would they go on before the wave of love hit them? Or would they find a reason to go their separate ways once their different agendas have been fulfilled?

“Yes, you have to. The mate bond deserves that respect in the least. If you want to reject me, do it looking me in my eyes.” I had no idea how he moved so fast — probably courtesy of his Alpha abilities — but he stood before me. His fingers lifted my chin so my eyes could meet his gaze. “Reject me by looking me in the eye.” His eyes searched my face. I shook my head as I struggled to hold back tears. He pinned me on both sides, my eyes widened in slight fear when I saw the frustration and anger. “Reject this!” He growled before slamming his lips into mine.

What happens when the wife he never loved becomes the one woman he can’t afford to lose? -- Lorenzo Gabriel Devlin stopped believing in love and marriage the moment his mother walked out on his father for another man, and when his first love chose her career over him. To him, love was nothing but a lie. But as the eldest son and heir to the Devlin Corporation, duty always came before desire. He needed an heir to carry on the family legacy. So when his father arranged a marriage for him, he had no choice but to agree... even if his heart was no longer capable of loving.

Amber had prepared herself for a loveless marriage, until she met Lorenzo and fell for him at first sight.

I am Ivy Blackthorne, the Luna of the Graystone pack and a princess of the White Wolf royalty. Tomorrow, when the full moon rises, I will personally place the heirloom upon my nine-year-old pup, Lucas Gowling, as both his mother and Luna. Lucas is not only my pup with my Alpha mate, Alexander Gowling, but he is also the Child of Prophecy foretold to lead the Graystone pack to glory. For nine years, I have believed that moment will be the most perfect in my life. But three minutes ago, I caught a faint yet chillingly bitter scent in my breakfast. It is wolfsbane, a rare poison that can kill wolves. My blood runs cold. Who would poison my food? I force myself to stay calm and not react immediately. I lift my bowl and pretend to drink its contents, but I secretly pour it into a napkin under the table. A more terrifying thought forms in my mind—if my breakfast is poisoned, then what about Lucas' food? I shoot to my feet right away. Without even stopping to grab a coat, I rush toward the training grounds in the back of the mountains. Before I reach it, I hear Lucas' voice from the woods toward the north. "Mother, did I do well today? I watch her eat breakfast with my own eyes." I freeze like I was hit by a bolt of lightning. Trembling, I push aside the bushes, only to see someone unexpected standing there. It is Sophia Crow, Alexander's childhood sweetheart, whom he had supposedly cut off from his life long ago. She crouches slightly and wipes Lucas' sweat off his brow, her movements intimate and natural. "Very good. Just one more day. After the succession ceremony tomorrow, you won't need to call her 'Mother' anymore," says Sophia. Lucas replies, "I've grown tired of calling her Mother for a long time. If she dies, can I openly call you 'Mother'?" Sophia gently pulls Lucas into her arms. "Of course. You are my pup to begin with." In that instant, every breath I take feels suffocating. The pain is unbearable. The pup I raised for nine years is actually the illegitimate child of my mate and his childhood sweetheart.

One face. Two lives. A marriage built on a deadly lie. Grace thought the hardest part of her life was being an orphan—until she discovered she wasn’t one. Found by the wealthy biological family who abandoned her, Grace isn’t greeted with open arms. Instead, she’s greeted with a cold-blooded ultimatum: Become your sister, or watch your adoptive mother rot in a prison cell. To save the only woman who ever loved her, Grace must step into the designer life of her twin, Isabella. That means navigating a world of backstabbing elites and, most dangerously, marrying Sebastian Vane. Sebastian is a man who rules with iron and ice. He doesn't want a partner, he wants a contract. He doesn't want love, he wants a pawn to secure his empire. “No love. No expectations. No children,” he warns. Grace is happy to oblige. After all, she isn't even the woman he thinks he’s marrying. But as the lines between her life and Isabella's begin to blur, Grace realizes that Sebastian is hiding secrets of his own—secrets that link their families in a web of blood and betrayal. Now, trapped in a golden cage with a man who sees everything, Grace has to play the performance of a lifetime. Because if Sebastian finds out she’s an impostor, he won't just break the contract—he’ll break her. She’s living her sister’s life. She’s sleeping in her sister’s bed.
