Romance after the Rings

---



She was never meant to be seen.

Just the adopted girl—the extra guest brought to save face.



But when the country’s most elusive billionaire heir announces a once-in-a-lifetime invitation, Maeve finds herself swept into a marriage she didn’t choose, wearing a dress she didn’t pick, beside a man who barely looks at her.



He needed a wife to claim his inheritance. She was just... there. Unwanted by the family that took her in, unnoticed by the man who now owns her last name.



Left to navigate a world of silent dinners, cold stares, and luxury that feels like punishment, Maeve buries herself in quiet solitude.



What begins as indifference turns into curiosity, and curiosity into possession. And when the truth of her past surfaces—of a tragedy that was never just an accident—he realizes he’s married to something far more dangerous than he ever expected:



A quiet storm he never saw coming.
