He Misjudged My Funeral

Five years ago, a blood-stained shirt at the Calgary docks was all that remained of Leo Montgomery, the man who faked his own death to escape an arranged marriage to the Blackwell family’s ruthless heiress. Aria Blackwell didn't break; she adapted, forging a cold, secret alliance with the formidable Julian Fraser and raising a daughter the underground world was never meant to find. But when the "dead" heir resurfaces in a high-end boutique with a manipulative new lover on his arm, the fragile peace between the city’s most powerful clans shatters. Now, caught between a vengeful ex-fiancé who claims amnesia and a possessive partner who deals in shadows and violence, Aria must navigate a lethal web of kidnapping, sabotage, and betrayal. In this world of elite business and underworld enforcers, the ghost of the past has returned to claim what he threw away—but he’s about to learn that the woman he abandoned is no longer a jilted bride, but a mother with enough fire to burn both their empires to the ground.
