The Heiress Returned For Revenge

On the night of her father's funeral, Celeste Ashby was accused of forging his will. By morning her stepmother, Lorraine, had the house on Gaston Street and her father's shares in the family hotels. Celeste had one suitcase and a police report with her name on it.

Years later, she comes back.

She doesn't use a fake name or a disguise. She walks into the Ashby Grand in a white dress and takes the penthouse, a month paid in full before she reaches the lift. Then she tells the whole board, to their faces, that she owns enough shares to take the company at the next vote.

Lorraine laughs, and so does her son. The only person who doesn't laugh is Jonah Pryce, the cold, quiet CEO Lorraine hired to run what she stole.

Celeste plans to ruin him first.

Then she finds out he got there before her.

Jonah has been taking the Ashby empire apart from the inside, one hotel at a time, for reasons of his own. Celeste's father destroyed his family long before Lorraine ever touched the Ashbys. If Celeste keeps going, she finishes his revenge for him. If she stops him, she has to protect the very company that threw her out.

Now two enemies are fighting over the same burning house, and neither of them is ready for the way it feels when he finally touches her.

Jonah has the one thing Celeste never found: proof that the will was real. He is the only man alive who can clear her name, and the only man with a reason to keep it buried.

She came home to take back what was hers. She never expected to want the man who was taking it apart.
