In a world where legacy is everything and love is a transaction, two wounded souls are forced into a marriage of convenience, only to discover that their greatest battle lies not in the boardroom, but against the ghosts of their past.
Monique Arnaud is the ice queen of the corporate world. Publicly known as Monique Prince to honor her cold, estranged parents, she is a fortress of control, haunted by the childhood tragedy that killed her brother and left her with a guilt her mother has never let her forget. She wears gloves to avoid the memory of her brother's cold hand and trusts no one but her grandfather and her devoted driver.
Adrian Parker is the rebellious, "spoiled" party animal, forced to bury his dream of being a professional race car driver to satisfy the demands of his domineering father, a retired general turned pharmaceutical titan. Seen as a disappointment, Adrian wears his playboy persona as a shield.
SHADOWS OF DESTINY is a gripping story of redemption, resilience, and the healing power of unexpected love. It is a tale of two broken people who, in their fight to protect each other, finally find the courage to save themselves, learning that the strongest foundations are not built on blood or business, but on the unbreakable bonds of a family you choose.

Backstory: Adrian Vale was born into wealth - the kind that comes with power, respect, and danger. The Vale name carries weight, tied to an empire built on generations of business...and the darker world beneath it. To outsiders, Adrian is everything they envy: charm, fortune, legacy. But behind the tailored suits and expensive watches is a man who wants none of it. Music is his only escape - the piano, the only place he can breathe. In the Vale household, though, passion isn't purpose. His father made that clear: a man's worth comes from numbers, not melodies. When his father dies, Adrian inherits everything he never wanted - the money, the power, the loneliness. Every smile feels fake. Every date, a transaction. So now he tests people, playing the part they expect: the rich bachelor who can buy anyone's affection. Most fall for it. Until Rowan. Rowan Hart grew up in a house that was always one paycheck away from falling apart.Her mother works double shifts, her sister juggles school, and Rowan takes care of her ailing grandfather. Writing was her escape - a way to make sense of the chaos. Then, one night, her words reached someone. One story went viral, and suddenly, Rowan Hart was a name people knew. But success didn't change her heart. She still lives in the same small house, still worries about bills and hospital visits. She's learned that love and honesty mean more than money ever could. When Adrian Vale walks into her life - charming, distant, and too polished to be real and she sees something beneath the surface. Loneliness. The same kind she's written about for years. And maybe, just maybe, the stories she writes aren't just meant to heal her anymore. Maybe what's she's been writing was manifesting him to her.

Adrian x Belvina book. Adrian Parker has always been the rock-steady, reliable, the friend who would drop everything to help others, even when his own world was crumbling. Beneath the smiles and jokes, however, lies a man haunted by the weight of past betrayals. The impostors, the cheaters, the liars-Adrian has seen it all, and each heartbreak has left a scar deep enough to make him believe that love was nothing more than a fleeting illusion. Now, he wears a mask, and behind it, he's built walls so thick no one can penetrate. No room for love. No space for pain. Or so he thought. Then came Belvina Gallardo. Belvina has lived by one rule: trust no one. After being burned by betrayal, she swore off letting anyone get close enough to hurt her again. Her heart? Locked up tight, guarded by walls only her closest friends and family have managed to breach. But Adrian Parker is different. He's persistent. Relentless. And, somehow, she feels something stirring inside her-a dangerous temptation to let him in. Both Adrian and Belvina have been broken, their trust shattered by the ones they loved. In a world where casual hookups and burying yourself in work is easier than risking another heartache, neither of them expects anything to change. They've both sworn off love for good. But sometimes, the heart doesn't listen to reason. And the one person you swear you'll never let in may just be the one who can heal you. When trust is shattered, can two broken souls learn to love again? Or will they simply break each other in the process?Concluida
