Heir Made, Heart Broken

He saved me from drowning—then let me bleed for his legacy. Orphaned boat girl Lily is pulled from ruin by Mr. Whitmore, only to be swept into a world where loyalty is currency and love is just another debt. When the Whitmore dynasty collapses, Lily risks everything to preserve their bloodline, sneaking into the county jail to give the family an heir. But freedom comes with a price: the man she saved hands her a cup of bitter tea, and with it, a devastating betrayal. Now, exiled and alone, Lily faces an impossible choice—fight for her unborn child or surrender to a world that was never meant for her. How far will she go when the only thing left to lose is herself? Can love survive when loyalty is a death sentence—or will Lily’s sacrifice haunt the Whitmores forever?
