The Muted Heir's Final Spring

The rainy funeral of the Jasker patriarch is the perfect cover for Olesia Varnas. A lazy genius with unmatched culinary skills, Olesia just wants a low-effort place to hide from the aging oligarch her family sold her to. She finds it at the Glass Bastion, serving Henrik Jasker. Mute by choice after a horrific corporate betrayal that left him deeply traumatized, the new heir is terrifying and suffers from violent night terrors. Yet, Olesia’s unapologetic laziness and perfectly brewed spiced milk become his only anchor in the dark. Told in alternating third-person perspectives, the story follows Henrik as he grows fiercely addicted to her quiet domestic warmth, viciously defending her against high-society vultures like the cruel supermodel Natalia Kors. But a shadow hangs over their bittersweet, unspoken love. Henrik is silently constructing a cold, clever revenge before a hidden time limit expires: a progressive toxin from the betrayal gives him exactly six months before total paralysis. With Olesia's pursuers closing in and Madam Birgitta manipulating them from the shadows, will their fragile sanctuary shatter before Henrik finishes his vengeance?
