Tangled Heart

Romance
5.0
They told Ivy Sinclair that time heals all wounds. But whoever said that never lost a father to a cover-up. They never had to rebuild themselves with the sharp edges of grief, or smile while the truth rotted silently in the shadows. And they certainly never had to face the man who might have orchestrated it all. Years ago, Ivy's world fell apart in a single phone call, the call that told her the man she loved most, her father, had died under mysterious circumstances. A car crash, they said. A tragic accident. Case closed. But Ivy never believed in accidents. Not when her father had just uncovered fraud within the billion-dollar empire of Blackwood Industries. Not when he'd warned her, days before his death, to stay away from the Blackwoods. And certainly not when the crash report disappeared, and her calls for an investigation were ignored. So Ivy vanished from the spotlight. She turned down elite internships, quit the public path her father had set her on, and became something else entirely, quiet, calculating, and dangerous in her own right. Now, she's back. Not as the sweet, eager heiress everyone remembers. But as a woman with a plan. A woman hungry for answers. A woman ready to walk into the lion's den dressed as bait. Her first move? A job at Blackwood Empire. Her goal? Find out who killed her father, and why. But nothing could prepare her for Adrian Blackwood. He's every inch the ruthless CEO the media paints him to be. Cold. Arrogant. Obsessed with control. The youngest of the Blackwood heirs, and the one most feared. But behind his icy mask is something else. A darkness Ivy can't decipher... and a pull she can't resist. She expected hostility. What she didn't expect was interest. Adrian notices her from the start. Her confidence. Her mystery. Her lies. And Ivy notices him too. The way he watches her when he thinks she isn't looking. The way his voice lowers only for her. The way he warns her of the very secrets she came to uncover. "You think I'm the villain in your story," Adrian says one night, his voice low and bitter. "You are," Ivy answers, trembling. But even she doesn't believe her words anymore. Because the deeper she digs, the more tangled everything becomes. Adrian Blackwood may be cruel, but he's not what she expected. He's not just the cold-hearted CEO. He's not just the heir to an empire built on blood and secrets. He's something else. Someone who's been burned too. Someone who may be just as trapped by the past as she is. And Ivy? She's not just a girl seeking justice anymore. She's a woman falling, fast and hard, for the one man she should never trust. The tension between them burns hotter with every stolen glance, every heated argument, every touch that lingers too long. But with secrets buried beneath the Blackwood name, and her father's ghost haunting every step, Ivy knows one wrong move could cost her everything. Love. Truth. Even her life. Can she uncover what happened to her father before it's too late? Or will falling for Adrian cost her the only thing she truly has left herself?
