The Hunted Heir

For ten years following a painful breakup, private investigator Nona Taylor has sworn off romantic entanglements, distancing herself from the world. Once a year, on New Year’s Eve, she attends church to beg God for forgiveness, haunted by the guilt of driving her twin sister out of the house to her unexpected death.

Attorney DeMarcus Johnson is determined to climb the ladder from associate to partner, but his progress is loaded with the weight of proving himself by winning high-stakes cases. He’s everything Nona knows to steer clear of-an overconfident ex-jock willing to do anything for success.

Their worlds collide when Nona’s elderly pastor receives a mysterious letter claiming he’s the sole heir to a substantial estate. Desperate for answers, Nona infiltrates a lavish charity ball, only to be found out by a suspicious stranger who threatens to blow her cover. In a bold move to shield her, DeMarcus swoops in and presents himself as her devoted fiancé.
Now bound by a false engagement, the pair reluctantly join forces to reveal the obscured truth surrounding the pastor’s inheritance. As they navigate the high-stakes legal investigation and confront a direct threat to their case, Nona and DeMarcus discover that sometimes the most unexpected alliance can lead to the redemption of shattered hearts.
