I came to bury my husband. I left carrying his brother’s baby. ⚰️🔥
Ava Vale returned to her estranged husband’s funeral expecting grief, closure… maybe even relief. What she didn’t expect was one night in the arms of Cole Vale—her late husband’s ruthless, magnetic brother.
Now, a secret pregnancy ties her to the very man she once swore she’d never trust. But the Vale estate is a battlefield of whispered accusations, buried scandals, and dangerous inheritance games—and Ava is suddenly the prize everyone wants to claim.
She’s caught between the legacy that buried her and the one growing inside her. In this house of shadows, love might be the biggest betrayal of all.
