Hazel Rogers never imagined her mother’s failing heart would force her into the arms of a stranger. With hospital bills piling up and no time left, she signs a desperate contract— as a surrogate for a billionaire who she doesn’t know. Ace Milan is cold, calculated, and devastatingly powerful, a man who built his empire on control and keeps his heart locked behind a fortress. Hazel is just a transaction to him. But when a scary accident forces her to move into his home, the lines blur. He becomes cruel, unpredictable—testing her limits with sharp words and colder actions. Yet beneath his ice is something else, something broken, watching her with eyes that never quite soften. As her pregnancy progresses, Hazel stumbles upon whispers of the woman who came before her—the first surrogate. The one who vanished. No one speaks of her, and Ace refuses to explain. But the house holds secrets. Locked rooms. Late-night phone calls. Half-truths wrapped in charm. And suddenly, the child inside Hazel becomes more than a contract—it becomes a target. Torn between protecting the life growing inside her and uncovering the truth about the man she’s starting to feel dangerously drawn to, Hazel is forced to make a choice. Walk away before she ends up like the last surrogate… or risk everything to unravel the darkness Ace has spent his life hiding. One thing is clear—nothing in this arrangement is what it seems. And some secrets are buried deep for a reason.

She was meant to be forgotten. He was born to reign. But when revenge and obsession blur the line between hate and desire, nothing is off-limits—not even ruin. After a public humiliation orchestrated by the powerful Brinchfort family, Sable Black disappears—only to return years later, colder and deadlier, with a secret identity and a plan for slow-burn revenge. But what happens when the one man she swore to destroy—London Brinchfort—awakens desires in her darker than vengeance? Tangled in lies, old betrayals, and scorching chemistry, Sable must choose: destroy the Brinchforts… or fall for the heir who ruined her life. This is a twisted, steamy tale of betrayal, obsession, and love born in the ashes of vengeance
