The Heir of Holly and DustUpdated at Dec 11, 2025, 01:24
One snowy Christmas Eve, a secret billionaire on the run found sanctuary in the most unlikely of places, the arms of a baker who had nothing to lose.
Aliana is an orphan and a cake store employee, fiercely guarding the fragile security of her inherited, rickety home. Her quiet life shatters when she rescues a brutally assaulted stranger named Zane, paying his staggering hospital bill with her life savings. Zane is handsome, educated, and suffers from profound amnesia, a man who remembers his name but nothing of his dangerous past.
Unbeknownst to Aliana, her patient is Zane Tork, the heir to the ruthless Tork Group and the target of an elaborate assassination plot orchestrated by his power-hungry uncle. Forced by the hospital to take the amnesiac into her care, Aliana opens her door to a world of corporate intrigue, hidden identities, and lethal conspiracies.
As they navigate the shadows of his forgotten life, a fierce, unexpected love is forged in the shared chaos, a love built on trust, danger, and the simple scent of gingerbread. But when Zane's memory returns, revealing a web of betrayal involving his sophisticated fiancée and a final, explosive piece of evidence hidden in a ceremonial wedding car, Aliana realizes their holiday romance is the final battleground for the Tork empire.
Now, as the clock ticks toward a devastating New Year's Eve Gala, Aliana and Zane must risk everything, their lives, their love, and the rickety house that became their fortress, to expose a truth that reaches back to the assassination of Aliana’s own father. Their love began in the dark of a Christmas night, and they will fight to ensure it culminates one year later, under the lights of a triumphant Christmas Day.
