Updated at Aug 19, 2026, 05:50
Rival HeartsHe thought she was for sale. She thought he'd ruined her life. Neither of them knew they were about to marry.Wren Ashcombe comes home to Aldermere with one rule: no distractions. Then she meets a stranger drunk enough to insult her, drunk enough to forget her — and furious enough that she swears she'll make him pay for it.She doesn't get his name.She doesn't need to. Her father hands it to her the next morning, along with the rest of the truth: she's marrying him. Kael Voss — heir to the one family her father has spent twenty years pretending not to hate — is about to become her husband, whether either of them agreed to it or not.The wedding happens. The war doesn't stop.Forced to run a company merger neither of them wanted, Wren and Kael tear each other apart in boardrooms by day and freeze each other out by night — until the numbers stop adding up, and Wren starts finding evidence that someone is sabotaging the marriage from the inside. Someone close. Someone she trusted before she ever met a Voss.The enemy she married might be the only one who isn't lying to her.Two dynasties. One marriage. A war neither of them wanted — until it stopped being one.

Coral of the Clark DynastyEze Clark has spent nineteen years being the son nobody takes seriously.The youngest of the powerful Clark family, he is dismissed as lazy, directionless, and incapable of living up to the dynasty his father built. While his three older brothers carry the family name with confidence, Eze is simply trying to figure out what to do with his life during a gap year.Then his family home is sold.With nowhere else to go, Eze rents a room from Pescara Thalira, a guarded young woman living alone with a secret she refuses to discuss. She has only one rule that truly matters:Stay out of the locked room across the hall.Eze agrees.He also lies about why he needs the room.What begins as an uneasy arrangement slowly becomes an unexpected friendship. But behind Pescara's walls lies something far more dangerous than either of them realizes—a priceless antique known as Coral, connected to a forgotten museum, a decades-old tragedy, and a symbol Eze has seen before.A symbol his father once warned him never to ask about.When Eze begins digging into Coral's history, he uncovers a trail leading from stolen art to political power, criminal networks, and secrets buried deep within the Clark dynasty. And the closer he gets to the truth, the more obvious it becomes that someone has been watching him from the beginning.Pescara has spent her life believing her parents died in an accident.Eze is about to discover that it was no accident at all.As danger closes in, the two of them must decide how much they are willing to trust each other when both are hiding something—and when the truth about their families could destroy everything between them.Because Coral is not merely an antique.It is evidence.And someone has already killed to keep its secret buried.Now Eze Clark, the son nobody understood, may be the one person capable of exposing it.But first, he has to survive the dynasty he was born into.
