The Heiress Returns

Arielle saves a stranger on a deserted island; her wish—go home. But home is a trap: stepmother and stepsister stole everything and will kill to keep it. She plays the fool while rebuilding power. The stranger is Vinson Nightshire, the city's king. He sees through her act and wants her—not repayment. She borrows his influence but refuses his protection; he corners her, she slips away. Revenge sharpens into desire. Who will surrender first?
