Merging Hearts
Autor: Ardlyn
Synopsis
In the dazzling heart of New York City, where billion-dollar deals are struck behind glass walls and legacy is everything, two powerful families wage a silent corporate war. For years, the Cater and Aldridge empires have battled for dominance—until a strategic merger is proposed that shocks both companies: a marriage between their heirs.
Celine Cater, the sharp-witted and fiercely independent CEO-in-waiting of Cater Innovations, is livid when her father arranges her engagement to Blake Aldridge, the charming but calculated heir of their oldest rival. Trapped in a union she didn’t choose, Celine vows to maintain her autonomy and never fall for the man whose family once threatened everything hers stood for.
Blake Aldridge, raised under the watchful eye of his powerful grandfather, knows how to play the long game. With a cool head and a devilish grin, he’s ready to fulfill his duty—but he didn’t expect Celine to be so headstrong, so captivating, or so determined to hate him.
As corporate obligations collide with personal emotions, the two are thrust into a world of media scrutiny, boardroom tension, and family expectations. But beneath the friction, a slow, undeniable chemistry begins to build—challenging everything they thought they knew about loyalty, power, and love.
In a world where love is the last thing on the agenda, Merging Hearts asks: what happens when the one person you were never supposed to trust is the only one who truly sees you?
