ASHES AND INHERITANCE

He built an empire from nothing. She never wanted to be noticed.



When ruthless billionaire CEO Nicholas Ashford hires the quiet but sharp-tongued Emery Clarke as his new executive secretary, neither expects their lives to change forever. Nicholas lives in a world of power, secrets, and revenge—built on the ashes of a past he never speaks of. Emery, haunted by her own losses, just wants to survive and stay invisible.



But sparks fly the moment their worlds collide.



As office politics turn dangerous and a rival corporation threatens everything Nicholas built, Emery becomes more than just a secretary—she’s the key to unlocking his humanity... and a truth that could destroy them both. Because Emery has a secret too. One that ties her to the Ashford empire in ways no one could have predicted.



What begins as a contract becomes a collision. What begins as desire becomes destiny.
