After losing his mother, Y/N Bourgeois learns that the father he's never met-André Bourgeois, the mayor of Paris-has sent for him. Suddenly thrust from a small, modest home into a world of luxury, Y/N finds himself living in a penthouse above the city, surrounded by people who wear masks as easily as they wear designer clothes.
He expected arrogance, distance, and a sister who'd hate him on sight. He didn't expect Marinette Dupain-Cheng - the kind, awkward girl who makes Paris feel like home again.
But when Ladybug and Cat Noir battle to keep the city safe, Y/N soon learns that secrets run deeper than family ties... and some hearts are more miraculous than they seem.
