A legacy built on silence. A daughter who won't stay quiet.
When Calla James receives a letter from a father she's never met-the billionaire Henry Ashford-it arrives with more than regrets. It comes with a bloodline, a fortune, and a war she never asked to fight.
Named as a secret heir to the Ashford empire, Calla is thrust into a world of brutal boardroom politics, buried scandals, and media firestorms. The elite power players want her gone. The public wants her story. And at the center of it all is Elias Ward, her father's former legal advisor-who might be the only man willing to stand beside her... or the next to betray her.
With her late mother's journals as her compass and a bloodstained legacy at her back, Calla must decide: fight for the name that tried to erase her, or walk away and let the truth die with it.
But some inherit money.
Some inherit power.
Calla inherited a reckoning.
The Inheritance Clause is a gripping, emotional, slow-burn romance wrapped in family secrets, legal warfare, and the kind of legacy no one escapes clean.
