Star of His Darkness

Ophelia Quinn Davis has spent her entire life taking care of others. At twenty-five, she is the beloved owner of Star Orphanage, known for her kindness, strength, and the way she loves every child like her own. To the world, Lia is perfect-sweet, beautiful, and selfless. But behind her warm smiles is a girl who has forgotten what it feels like to be loved and cared for in return.

Alexander James King is everything she is not.

At twenty-nine, the CEO of King Corp is feared by the media and known as the cold-hearted billionaire with no mercy. Powerful, ruthless, and impossible to read, Alex keeps everyone at a distance. No one knows the truth behind his icy exterior-the lonely boy who grew up without love and learned to survive by shutting the world out.

Then one unexpected night changes everything.

A simple encounter brings Lia and Alex into each other's lives, and suddenly the walls they spent years building begin to crack. While Lia becomes the only person who sees the man behind Alex's cold mask, Alex is drawn to the warmth of the orphanage and the girl who carries the weight of everyone else's pain on her shoulders.

But love was never meant to come easy for two broken souls.

With haunting pasts, dangerous secrets, and a world determined to pull them apart, Lia and Alex must decide if they are willing to risk their hearts for something they never believed they deserved: each other.
