Inherited Obsession

Details

Elara Finch’s life is tied to the cobblestones and crumbling walls of Oakhaven, a village slowly suffocating under the modern world’s relentless march. As the proprietor of its last functioning heritage weaving studio, every thread she spins is a desperate prayer. But when the formidable Rhys Kincaid, CEO of Kincaid Industries, descends upon Oakhaven, he isn't there for gentrification—he’s there for her. An archaic clause in his grandfather’s will demands he marry a woman from Elara’s specific lineage to secure his empire. He sees a transaction, a cold-blooded necessity. She sees a chance, however slim, to save her dying community. Trapped in a gilded cage of an arranged marriage, Elara's passionate defiance clashes with Rhys's icy control. Each shared glance, every accidental touch, sends a tremor through their carefully constructed defenses. If she fails to melt his heart or secure her village’s future, Oakhaven will vanish, and she will lose not just her home, but her very soul, sacrificed to a loveless pact. Can her vibrant spirit ignite a spark in the man who believes love is a weakness, or will their forced proximity only lead to a devastating heartbreak wrapped in silk and shadowed by secrets?
