For 25 years, Avery lived as the Cole family’s “fake heiress.” The moment their biological daughter returned, they cast Avery out like she was nothing. Everyone expected her to hit rock bottom. They were wrong. Avery has built her own empire in secret—complete with wealth, businesses, and power the Coles never knew about. When the family tries to seize her assets, they quickly realize she was never dependent on them. Now, Avery is ready to cut ties and take back control of her life. Then a powerful, untouchable man makes her an offer she never saw coming: a contract marriage. The Coles thought they were getting rid of a replaceable daughter. They have no idea they just threw away the one woman they could never replace.
