“Zara Knight has one goal: destroy the people who murdered her father and stole her family's billion-dollar empire. For eighteen months, she's transformed herself from grieving heiress into a weapon, learning to hack, fight, and infiltrate the criminal network called Project Fortune. Her plan is perfect-until she discovers her new boss, Malachi Sterling, is hunting the same conspiracy. Malachi built Sterling Security Solutions on control and discipline. He trusts no one, especially not the brilliant analyst with the too-perfect resume who's clearly hiding something. When a client's assassination forces them into an uneasy alliance, he realizes Zara isn't just hiding her identity-she's on a revenge mission that could get them both killed. To infiltrate Project Fortune's exclusive summit, they pose as an engaged couple. The fake relationship requires proximity neither wants. Malachi's ice-cold control starts cracking around Zara's fire. Zara's revenge-focused heart betrays her with feelings she can't afford. Their chemistry is undeniable, their mutual distrust absolute. Then Zara discovers the conspiracy's mastermind: Nathaniel Cross, her beloved godfather who murdered her father for revolutionary encryption patents worth billions. Worse-Malachi's own uncle has been the mole inside Sterling Security, forced to betray them to keep Malachi alive. At the Fortune Summit, with Nathaniel holding his own daughter hostage and federal agents closing in, Zara faces an impossible choice. She came for revenge. She found something far more dangerous: a man who sees past her armour to the woman underneath, who challenges her to choose building over destroying. But trust is the ultimate vulnerability. And in a world where everyone she loved has betrayed her, trusting Malachi might be the most reckless thing she's ever done. Reclaimed Fortune: A high-stakes thriller romance where revenge meets redemption, corporate espionage collides with genuine connection, and two damaged people discover that the fortune worth reclaiming isn't money-it's the courage to trust again.”
