Angol
She was sold to the family that buried hers.
She came to bury them back.
Mira Vale married a monster to settle her dying father's debt.
That's the version the world is allowed to believe. The truth is colder. She walked into the Severin household - the dynasty that erased her family's name and built a throne on the wreckage - to take it apart from the inside, one secret at a time.
Somewhere beneath their Geneva bank sits the Ledger: a century of the world's darkest accounts, and the reason the Severins have never had to yield to anyone.
Mira intends to find it. And use it.
Damien Severin is everything she was warned about. Heir to the bank that launders the world's worst sins. Engineered by his father into a man who feels nothing - because in his family, love is the door an enemy walks through.
He takes a wife to close an account.
He does not expect to be read like a page.
He does not expect to want the one woman he should fear most.
Neither of them expects the thaw.
But the deeper Mira reaches, the closer she comes to the one record that could end them both - and the more she risks the only person who has ever truly seen her.
When a rival house springs a trap and a traitor no one can name cracks the empire open from within, the wife who came to destroy the cold prince becomes the only thing standing between him and ruin.
And the weakness his father spent a lifetime burning out of him may be the only thing left that can save them.
Some inheritances are a gift.
Hers came with a body count.
