The Heiress's Christmas Gamble
The cold truth of her past could ruin him. The fake promise of his future could destroy her. It's a high-stakes holiday game, but in a world of lies, their love might be the most dangerous gamble of all.
Seo-yeon isn't looking for a fairytale. She's a ghost in Seoul's glittering high society, a woman with a single, burning purpose: to expose the man who destroyed her family. But to do that, she needs a key-and that key is Lee Jae-hyeok, the ruthless, cold-hearted heir to her family's ruin.
Jae-hyeok is a man of a different sort. He's a puppet in his father's game, forced to find a fianc e by Christmas to secure his inheritance. When he discovers Seo-yeon, a woman who despises his family, he sees an opportunity. She is the perfect, beautiful lie. Their arrangement is simple: a contract, a dazzling diamond ring, and a public performance of love that hides their mutual contempt.
As they navigate a world of treacherous boardrooms and lavish galas, their carefully constructed facade begins to crack. A forgotten locket, a shared secret, and a dangerous enemy from the past threaten to expose their entire deception. In the dead of a cold winter, as the holiday lights twinkle and the snow falls, they find themselves caught in a high-stakes game. But the biggest gamble isn't for an inheritance or revenge-it's for a love that could either set them free or tear them apart.
