The Heiress Who Burned the Engagement

At Ethan Hale’s lavish proposal party, Nora Shaw is expected to dive into an icy lake to retrieve the key to his heart—while his first love watches from shore. Nora remembers doing it once before, nearly dying, and spending ten years as Ethan’s afterthought. This time, she walks away. When the Hale family tries to force her apology and keep her fortune tied to their empire, Nora burns the engagement contract and pulls her family’s billion-dollar backing. As Ethan’s perfect Lily unravels, Nora exposes every lie, rebuilds her power, and learns that dignity is not given. It is taken back.
