The Rival Heir
About
A Fake Engagement.
A Family Betrayal.
A Love That Was Never Supposed To Be.
Charlotte DuPrix lost everything the day Maison LaCroix paraded her stolen designs down the runway—and took credit for every stitch. Now, she’s out for justice. So when Gabriel LaCroix, heir to the empire that destroyed her, offers a deal she can use to get close to the family? She says yes… with her own secret terms.
Gabriel LaCroix needs to convince the board he’s stable enough to lead the iconic fashion house. A fake engagement is the perfect solution—especially when Charlotte, the poised designer with a mysterious past, agrees to play along. But he doesn’t expect her fire, her charm… or the way she starts to feel like more than a means to an end.
The contract was supposed to be clean. Professional. Temporary.
But what happens when pretending feels more real than either of them ever planned?
