ABOUTquote
About the Author I am a contemporary romance author who loves creating emotionally driven stories filled with unforgettable characters, slow-burn romance, family secrets, and unexpected twists. Inspired by themes of love, betrayal, resilience, and redemption, she writes novels that explore the complicated choices people make when their hearts and loyalties collide. When I'm not writing, I enjoy imagining new story worlds and crafting characters whose journeys stay with readers long after the final page. The Rival Heir is a story about love, trust, sacrifice, and discovering that sometimes the greatest enemy isn't the person you've been taught to hate—but the lies you've always believed.

THE RIVAL HEIR
Updated at Jul 20, 2026, 12:55
Victoria Neuman has spent years blaming the Carter family for destroying everything she loved. So when her family's struggling hotel empire is pushed to the edge of collapse, the last person she expects to need is Alex Carter.The cold, infuriating heir to the empire she despises. His solution was a fake engagement. What begins as a business arrangement quickly turns into a dangerous game of stolen glances, undeniable attraction, and feelings neither of them can afford. But behind Alex's calm appearance is a secret he's kept for years. A secret tied to the night Victoria's family lost everything. The closer Victoria gets to the man she never wanted, the harder it becomes to separate truth from lies... or hatred from love. When the truth finally comes to light, she'll have to decide whether to walk away from the man who broke her heart or fight for the only love she never saw coming. Because sometimes the greatest betrayal is falling in love with your enemy.
