The Lost Heiress: His Secret Muse

She survived ten years of hell. They never expected her to rise. Evelyn Taylor was discarded by the family that raised her—starved, humiliated, and cast out the moment their real daughter returned. They thought she was nothing. A pauper from the mountains with nowhere to go. They were wrong. The black Rolls-Royce waiting outside didn't come from poor farmers. It came from the Taylor family—one of four shadow families that rule from the darkness. Evelyn Taylor isn't a beggar. She's the lost heiress of an empire, and she's spent a decade hiding talents that would make the elite tremble. But returning to luxury isn't enough. Someone orchestrated her disappearance twenty years ago. Someone wants her dead. And the deeper she digs, the closer she gets to a conspiracy that reaches the highest echelons of power. William Brown—the heir who broke their engagement without meeting her—thought she was a gold-digging imposter. Then he watched her save his mother's life. Then he saw her disarm armed assassins with lethal grace. Then he discovered the musical genius he had worshipped from afar might be the woman he had thrown away. Now he's fighting to earn back a woman who no longer needs him, while Evelyn Taylor hunts the puppet master who stole her childhood—and burns every enemy who stands in her path. Some fires don't just survive. They come back to consume everything.
