The river was cold, but the betrayal was colder.” Three years ago, Ariana Blake was the world’s most envied woman. Married to the powerful CEO Alexander Knight, she thought she was living a fairy tale. But on a rainy midnight, that dream shattered. A calculated accident, a scream lost in the wind, and a husband who watched from the shore as her car plunged into the icy depths of the Thames. The world declared her dead. Alexander moved on to the woman who pulled the strings of her murder. But ghosts don't stay buried forever. Saved from the wreckage by the enigmatic and lethal billionaire Ethan Blackwood, Ariana Blake died in that water.

A billion-dollar lie. Alexander wants her back. Victoria wants her dead. Ethan wants to own her. But Aria? Aria wants them all to burn.

FIVE FAMILIES. ONE HUNDRED DAYS. ONE IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE. Isabel Walton is the faceless heiress to the world’s most powerful business empire. Her father’s legacy comes with a brutal condition: to inherit the Walton throne, she must present a husband within 100 days. If she fails, her predatory uncle Silas and his ambitious son Lucian will seize everything she has ever known. The contract is strict. Her groom must come from one of the five highest-ranking families in the world: the cold-blooded Kochs, the flashy Sons, the rugged Thomsons, the royal Ambanis, or the cruel Arnaults. But Isabel refuses to be chosen for her wealth. Instead, she vanishes. Determined to find a man who loves the woman, not the wealth, Isabel goes undercover. Disguised as a common maid, she embarks on a global tour, spending 19 days in each estate to witness the true nature of the men who want her hand. What she finds is far from fairy-tale perfection. Behind closed doors, these heirs are ruthless, arrogant… and capable of cruelty toward the very girl they believe is beneath them. Invisible. Powerless. Nothing. But Isabel is watching, learning and judging. Along the line something happened. She found love in a commoner who wasn't part of the contract. When the final day comes, the game flips. The five heirs gather, ready to win the Walton fortune, only to discover that the “pathetic maid” they dismissed… is the woman who owns their futures. Now, with every secret exposed and every mask shattered, Isabel must make the ultimate choice. Will she choose love… or power? Because in a world built on wealth and deception, the most dangerous player is the one no one saw coming.
