Secret Wife Of The Arbex Heir

Sent to a temple in the mountains at the age of eight, under the claim that she was a “cursed child,” Katherine Lutz grew up isolated from the world, raised only by her mother and a set of extraordinary abilities—amplified hearing, prodigious memory, and an almost superhuman talent for creating medicinal fragrances. Now, years later, she returns to the city only to discover: a father who never wanted her, a half-sister who slanders her, a stepmother who despises her, and an elite class ready to trample her. But Katherine did not return defenseless. She holds the industry's biggest secret: she is Sasha Luz, the miraculous perfumer whose work is worth millions — and whose name the whole world desires. When her path crosses with João Pedro Arbex, the second heir to the most powerful family in the country, Katherine realizes she's not the only one with secrets. Distant, cold, and dangerous, João is obsessed with finding Sasha Luz to save an entire company — but he has no idea that the girl who provokes him, challenges him, and destabilizes his self-control is exactly who he's looking for. Surrounded by intrigue, inheritance disputes, family secrets, and shady alliances, Katherine must: find out why her father really abandoned her, locate documents hidden by Daniela Arbex before she died, keep her identity a secret, and decide whether to trust—or destroy—the only man who sees beyond her mask. In a world where everyone wants to use her... Katherine decides that she will be the one to dictate the rules. A novel of growing tension, burning secrets, sharp protagonists, and explosive twists, where power has a scent, love has poison, and the truth... costs lives.
