The CEO's stolen heir
The CEO's stolen heir
“Five years ago, Elena Hart spent one reckless night with a stranger she never saw again and buried her daughter the same week her son was born. Now she needs a job more than she needs answers. She never expected to find both in the same man. Adrian Blackwood is the coldest CEO in London and the one man Elena swore destroyed her family. The moment her son runs into his legs in a marble lobby, Adrian sees a ghost he can't explain away: dark hair, familiar eyes, a face that shouldn't exist. A DNA test confirms what neither of them wants to be true. A contract marriage is supposed to fix it. But five years of secrets don't stay buried that easily - and someone has spent just as long making sure Elena never learned the truth about the daughter she thinks she lost. Adrian swore he'd never trust a Hart again. Elena swore she'd never need a Blackwood. Neither of them knew how much they'd already lost to the same lie.”
