Daddy’s billionaire step-brother

Eighteen-year-old Clara Miller's life is far from the fairy tale it once seemed. Her father's gambling addiction has drained the family fortune, leaving them reliant on her late mother's trust fund to maintain a semblance of their former lifestyle. As a result, Clara is an outcast at her elite high school, Rosewood Academy, where wealth and status mean everything.

Everything changes when Adrian Belfort, her father's distant step-brother and a reclusive billionaire jeweler, returns from Europe after four years. Adrian was like an uncle to Clara, but his reappearance brings an unexpected shift. Adrian's intense and almost protective gaze unsettles Clara, hinting at feelings beyond familial affection.
