The Billionaire's Ex-Wife and the Secret Daughter

Elena Lane had everything: a jewelry dynasty, a rare gift for design, and a husband she trusted. Then the powerful Sullivan family murdered her father, forged evidence of trade-secret theft, and convinced CEO Adrian Grant to send Elena to prison—before swallowing her family's company whole. Three and a half years later, Elena walks free. What no one knows is that she gave birth alone in a prison infirmary to a daughter, Nora—and vanished into the desert mining district to raise her in secret. Now she returns to Los Angeles under a new identity: "Lark," the most talked-about designer in the jewelry world. As her star rises, so does her reckoning. The Sullivans scramble to bury her, while a guilt-stricken Adrian uncovers the truth behind the frame-up—and the little girl who shares his eyes. Between the ex-husband desperate for redemption and the rival who wants to protect her, Elena has only one goal: expose every lie, reclaim her empire, and make them all pay—in full.
