I slept with my father’s best friend. Now I’m carrying his triplets while fighting for my inheritance.

When my father dies unexpectedly, I’m left fighting to save our luxury hotel from a stepmother determined to destroy everything I care about.

It’s the last connection I have to my parents—and I’m running out of options.

Enter Lucas Bennett: billionaire hotel magnate, my father’s best friend, and the only man who might save my legacy.

At forty-five, he’s everything boys my own age aren’t.

Powerful. Commanding. Experienced.

Our forbidden attraction explodes into stolen moments of raw passion, his experienced hands mapping every freckle on my skin.

As my stepmother’s threats escalate, Lucas and I form an alliance that quickly blazes into something deeper, something lasting.

But when I discover I’m pregnant, fear grips my heart.

Will he think I trapped him? Or will he see the truth—that this Cinderella doesn’t need a white knight, but a partner who recognizes the fire I’ve kept hidden.

Now we must outmaneuver my stepmother.

Save my family legacy and protect our unexpected future—and the three tiny heartbeats that depend on us.
