BORN TO RULE Michael Carter has it all. Money. Looks. Influence. A powerful family name. As the only son of billionaire businessman Victor Carter, Michael has never had to fight for anything. At twenty-two, he’s living the life most people can only dream of—luxury cars, expensive parties, designer clothes, and a place at the prestigious Kingbridge University. To Michael, the world has always been simple. Money gets you anything. Power gets you respect. And the Carter name gets you both. But when Michael returns to Kingbridge for a new semester, he discovers that being born into power doesn’t mean you can control everything. New friendships will be tested. Old secrets will surface. Rivalries will turn personal. And someone unexpected will challenge everything Michael believes about himself, his family, and the life he’s always taken for granted. Michael Carter was born into privilege. He was born to inherit an empire. But is he really born to rule? Or will the world teach him that even the most powerful people can lose everything?
