THE INHERITANCE OF SHADOWS

My whole world revolved around Ethan Vanderbilt, the wealthy heir, and our shared dream of a life in Aspen.

Our future, however, was conditional: he first had to secure his family's multi-billion dollar inheritance by having children with another woman, his childhood friend Brittany Hayes.

I became his secret, patient mistress, waiting in the shadows for my turn.

They had their first child, then another, and I was forced into the degrading role of nanny to his legitimate heirs, living under the Vanderbilt family's scorn.

Then, the unthinkable happened: I became pregnant with Ethan's child.

But a devastating fall during a desperate hike ended everything; I lost our baby.
