“Lila Bennett never imagined her life would be a battleground between two powerful billionaires. After her painful divorce from Jordan Carter, the tech mogul she thought she'd build her life with, she meets Declan Moore, the charismatic and mysterious CEO of a rival company. A one-night stand leads to an unexpected pregnancy, and suddenly, Lila finds herself torn between two men, both vying for her heart-and both involved in a bitter business rivalry. When the pregnancy goes public, the internet erupts. The unborn child is now the heir to two billion-dollar companies, and someone is targeting the child's future. As the rivalry between Archer Enterprises and Moore Industries heats up, dangerous forces close in on Lila, threatening her life and the child she carries. Caught in a web of corporate greed, jealousy, and betrayal, Lila must decide whom she can trust before it's too late. But the question remains-who will protect her and the unborn heir to a fortune, and which man truly wants her heart?”
