The Wrong Heir

By E.S. Arden

Her family buried the truth. The man she loves vanished for finding it.

Audrey Mei-Lin Tanaka has spent her life as the polished daughter of Singapore's most powerful maritime family-useful, obedient, and kept far from the decisions that matter.

Evan James Stewart came to Singapore to build something that does not profit when working people fail. His questions about a struggling fishing operation pull him into Audrey's orbit-and into the path of an acquisition machine that always seems to arrive just after disaster.

Then a dead man's final warning leaves behind two words: wrong heir.

When Evan disappears from a bloodstained boat, Audrey refuses to wait for her family to save him. Every clue points toward a secret tied to her twenty-fifth birthday, a hidden claim to power, and someone willing to kill to keep her from learning the truth.

To find Evan, Audrey must dismantle the empire that raised her. To survive, Evan must trust that the woman he loves will choose him without surrendering herself.

Set against Singapore's glittering harbor and the machinery of a powerful family dynasty, The Wrong Heir blends a high-heat love story with a maritime conspiracy in which trust is as dangerous as power.
