Bound by Power

Celestine Herrera has never bowed to anyone-not the board of directors, not society, not even love. As the only successor of the Herrera empire, she has spent her life walking a straight path toward power and legacy.

Until that path is rearranged.

Nikolai Jansen Dela Vega, second son of the formidable Dela Vega family, has lived in the shadow of his older brother-until the spotlight is suddenly his. Known for his razor-sharp mind, silver tongue, and charm that disarms even the fiercest boardroom rival, Nikolai is the last man anyone expected to enter a marriage for convenience.

When their engagement is announced, the entire nation watches as two titans of business prepare to merge-through matrimony. But behind the elegant smiles and press conferences lie hidden motives, long-kept secrets, and a contract that binds more than just their companies.

They may wear rings, but this is not love.

This is war... behind closed doors.
