About this audiobook
An orphaned heiress inherits a massive fortune, but it comes with a crippling condition: her future husband must take her surname to claim the wealth. Plunged into London's glittering and greedy high society, she is immediately besieged by fortune hunters, false friends, and reckless spendthrifts. As her wealth is squandered by careless guardians, she finds herself torn between her duty to the inheritance and a passionate, forbidden romance. Only by confronting the deceit around her can she forge a path to genuine freedom and love.
