Julia Rivers spent her whole life believing she came from nothing — a tiny apartment above her mother’s café, second‑hand clothes, and a father she was told had died before she was born. But everything changes the day a mysterious letter arrives. “She deserves to know the truth. — A. Blackwood.” Suddenly, Julia is thrown into a world she never imagined: a world of wealth, power, secrets… and danger. Her father is alive. Her father is rich. Her father is Alexander Blackwood — one of the most feared billionaires in the country. And he wants her back. But stepping into the Blackwood mansion means stepping into a war. A cold, elegant woman who hates her. A father with too many secrets. A contract that could destroy everything. And Adrian Blackwood — the adopted son with storm‑grey eyes, a dangerous past, and a kiss Julia can’t forget.
