Six years ago, Alice Anderson’s life was shattered in a single, heart-stopping moment. Pregnant with Jace Miller’s child, she faced the wrath of his father, Daniel Miller—a ruthless, powerful man who would stop at nothing to protect his family’s legacy. Terrified by his threats and with nowhere to turn, Alice fled the glittering chaos of New York, seeking refuge in the remote wilds of Australia. There, she gave birth to her daughter, Ava, and for six peaceful years, she built a quiet life far from the shadows of her past.

But peace never lasts.

A sudden, unexpected call from her mother draws Alice back into the life she thought she had left behind. Her return to New York comes with a bombshell revelation: Alice is the secret, illegitimate daughter of Michael Rodriguez, a business tycoon whose empire now belongs to her. The news sends shockwaves through the Rodriguez family.

As Alice grapples with her newfound inheritance and the impending conflict within the Rodriguez family, her past collides with her present in the form of Jace Miller.

Discovering that Alice has returned to the city—with their daughter—Jace is determined to rekindle the love they once shared. Her feelings are conflicted, and things become even more complicated when she encounters William Davis, a mysterious and magnetic rival to the Millers, who seems to have his own agenda. Captivated by William’s allure, Alice finds herself torn between the man from her past and the one who offers a dangerously seductive future.

In a city where power and betrayal walk hand-in-hand, and love is as much a weapon as a desire, Alice must navigate the treacherous waters of wealth, family secrets, and ruthless ambition.

In Love with Secret Heiress

The night pressed in around us as Ava and I moved through the forest, the shadows swallowing us whole. I kept glancing over my shoulder, each distant sound tightening the knot of dread in my stomach. William was out there, fighting Ferraro's men alone, and the weight of leaving him behind bore down on me like a leaden shroud. Every instinct screamed at me to turn back, but Ava's small, trusting hand in mine was a reminder of the promise I'd made to protect her, no matter the cost.

The trail narrowed, winding between dense trees and overgrown brush, and Ava stumbled, her tiny legs struggling to keep up. I slowed, kneeling beside her and cupping her face in my hands, offering what comfort I could.

"Are you okay, sweetheart?" I asked softly, brushing a stray tear from her cheek.

She nodded, her wide eyes searching mine. "Mommy, where's William?"
