She’s the hidden heir. He’s the CEO with a secret. Their love? Strictly forbidden. Charlotte Lin was never meant to inherit the family empire. As the illegitimate daughter, she clawed her way up—hiding her bloodline beneath ambition and grit. But when her ruthless stepsister Rebecca, the “perfect heir,” moves to seize it all, Charlotte finds an unexpected ally. Enter Nate Montgomery: billionaire CEO and Rebecca’s fiancé… at least on paper. Behind closed doors, he’s drawn to Charlotte’s fire—and ready to risk everything for her, including his throne. What begins as a game of fake kisses and power plays erupts into a battle of secrets, betrayal, and forbidden passion. In this war, love is just another weapon—and Charlotte won’t stop until she takes what’s hers. Love. Lies. Power. Only one can win.
