The Fracture

By Lucia Vale

Power cannot negotiate with mortality.

After surviving public scandal and private fracture, Adrian Vale and Elena Marlowe believed they had recalibrated their world. Control was restored. Transparency was rebuilt. Stability returned.

Then his heart failed again.

This time it was not contained. Not minimized. Not theoretical.

As whispers of succession circulate and vulnerability replaces dominance, both must confront a fear neither has faced before. Not betrayal. Not competition. Loss.

When concealment fractures trust and mortality refuses to be managed, the question shifts from control to presence.

How do you build permanence when nothing is guaranteed?

The Fracture is Book Five in the His Private Arrangement series, a dark psychological billionaire romance about power, vulnerability, and the quiet terror of loving someone who is not invincible.
