Bay Area Secret Pact
When an unredacted venture capital audit leaked online, the Silicon Valley socialite watched her tech titan husband incinerate their offshore trusts.
Eight years after a mysterious encounter leaves her pregnant and disgraced, an outcast noblewoman returns to claim retribution against her household. Her cruel stepmother had banished her into poverty while handing her royal birthright and wealthy betrothal to an envious stepsister. When the exiled heiress strides into the imperial engagement feast and boldly kisses the high-ranking duke, the stunned court brands her completely reckless.
Unknown to her, the formidable nobleman immediately recognizes the touch of the woman he has pursued across kingdoms for nearly a decade. He eagerly agrees to a contractual marriage, pretending ignorance while secretly offering her the boundless authority of his estate. Together, they turn high society upside down as she dismantles her deceitful family.
