Caution! Heiress Coming Through

Stella Wright's last memory of her first life is the fall. Her husband Gary and her half-sister Teresa push her off a balcony on her twenty-fifth birthday, her mother's ten-billion-dollar estate the only motive they need. The will had one condition: Stella had to marry Gary to access the money. He married her for it. He killed her for it. And Teresa, wearing the Winston family heirloom Stella's mother never knew she had, is already planning to step into her life.

Then Stella opens her eyes in a hotel hallway, three days before the wedding. The same bachelor party is happening down the corridor. The same two men who drugged her are waiting for their cue. In her first life, she woke up in a hotel room with no memory and a ruined reputation. This time, she grabs a bottle, smashes it over one man's head, and runs straight into Ryan Cabot—the second son of a Wall Street titan, infamous for playing women by his own rules. He is bleeding from a fight. She is burning up from a drugged drink. One bandage and one night later, she has an offer for him.

Her wedding will be packed with every elite member of society, including William Windsor, the richest man in the country, who has spent decades searching for his missing granddaughter. Stella is that granddaughter. She knows it now. What she needs is a man with the nerve to walk into her wedding, stop the ceremony, and make sure the Windsors are there to witness it. Ryan, locked in a race against his brother to be the first to reach a hundred billion and claim the family empire, finds the proposal absurd and irresistible in equal measure. He agrees.

When the wedding day arrives, the Hills and Stella's own family waste no time tightening their grip. Her stepmother demands her inheritance share be handed over to Gary as a sign of "respect." Teresa announces to the entire congregation that Stella slept with another man three days earlier, waving photos as proof. Gary, smug and certain, tells her she has no choice—he is the only man "virtuous enough" to marry damaged goods like her. Stella looks at all of them and delivers one line: "Go jump off a balcony."

That is when Ryan walks in. The ceremony they tried to use to bury her becomes the stage where everything unravels. Stella is not the disposable wife they planned to discard. She is a Windsor. And the family that spent decades searching for their lost heiress is about to find her standing at the altar, ready to take back her name, her fortune, and every last thing they stole.
