Gold and Secrets

Sophia Laurent is the secret heiress to one of the world’s wealthiest families, living a life of isolation and control under her father’s oppressive reign. Tired of being a pawn in her family's power games, Sophia escapes into the real world, adopting a fake identity to experience life as a normal woman. But her attempt at freedom takes an unexpected turn when she’s mistaken for a gold-digger during a blind date with Alexander "Xander" Hayes, a wealthy and cynical businessman. He believes she’s after his money, and his vulgar, dismissive attitude makes her want to walk away—fast. In a story filled with sparks, secrets, and unexpected twists, will love triumph over wealth, or will the past prove too strong to overcome?

His dark eyes never leave mine as he tilts his head. He asks, seemingly savoring the words, "Marry you?" "Mia, you're either incredibly brave or utterly reckless."

"Maybe a little bit of both," I say, my voice more steady than I expected. My heart, on the other hand, feels like it's about to escape my chest.
