In the golden kingdom of Averenth, where power wears designer suits and secrets shimmer beneath diamonds, two souls meet between light and ruin.
Avrelien Valeheart, the Duke's youngest son, is everything the elite adore - gentle, petite, and always smiling.
But behind that softness lies a heart aching for something real, something beyond titles and expectations.
Then there's Elias D'Arvelle, the richest man in Averenth - colder than marble, untouchable as the moon. Once the poorest boy in the streets, he built an empire from nothing, swearing vengeance on the noble bloodline that destroyed his family. Yet when his path crosses with Avrelien's innocent warmth, his carefully built walls begin to crumble.
Bound by lies, class, and a history written in ash, their love becomes both their salvation and their downfall.
Because in Averenth, love between men like them isn't forbidden - it's dangerous.
Between fire and silk, truth and sin,
two hearts learn to burn - and bloom - again.

Wrong Bride To The Right Husband
Aria is the beautiful, smart, and beloved daughter-praised by everyone and trusted with their father's company. But her twin sister, Alina, lives constantly in her shadow-unseen, uncelebrated, and forced to work under Aria's command. When Aria causes a major financial loss to a powerful, mysterious company owned by an unknown billionaire, their father is forced to pay a large sum in compensation. But it's not enough. In return, the company demands an unusual form of settlement: the CEO responsible must marry their CEO until the debt is cleared. To protect Aria, their parents make a secret decision. Alina is forced to marry the unknown CEO in Aria's place. She's terrified-of the marriage, the man, and the new life ahead. No one knows what he looks like, and he's never appeared in the media. He's a complete enigma. Alina's first night in the mansion is unsettling-she's kissed from behind by a stranger while humming a song known only to her and a long-lost love. The kiss stirs something in her, something painfully familiar. And when she finally meets her husband, Darren Blackwood, she's stunned. He looks familiar-too familiar-but she can't place him. As days pass, memories from eight years ago start surfacing. Clues hidden in the house, songs, and gestures slowly unravel the truth: Darren is the man who once loved her and vanished from her life. The heartbreak returns-but so does the spark. Their love story reignites, beginning with slow trust and deep emotion. But Aria, full of jealousy and rage, isn't done. She wages a subtle war to tear them apart, using lies and manipulation to destroy Alina's newfound happiness. Yet, against the odds, and despite the pain of the past, Darren and Alina prove that love-true, hard-earned love-can conquer even the deepest wounds and fiercest enemies.Complete
