The Heiress Code

Previously published as The Heiress Code by Devereux, Chloe (AUTHOR)

She was groomed for perfection. Betrayed on the biggest stage. Now she's caught between two men-and one impossible choice.

Zoe Emsworth has never had the luxury of being ordinary. As the daughter of a dynamic New York power couple, she was born into a world of strategy, status, and carefully managed optics. Her entire life has been about appearances-right down to her engagement to Zachary Forthington, a British prodigy and her father's handpicked match. Their union was flawless from the outside: elegant, enviable... and entirely constructed.

Until it all falls apart.

When the headlines turn vicious and the people closest to her weaponize her pain, Zoe vanishes. She heads west to the one place her family would never look-Big Sky, Montana-where anonymity feels like salvation and fresh air tastes like freedom.

But small-town solitude doesn't last long. Especially not when Brett Archer enters the picture.

A former Navy pilot turned rancher, Brett wants nothing to do with celebrity drama or women with complicated pasts. But the chemistry between them is undeniable-smoldering, electric, and impossible to ignore. What begins as guarded attraction quickly ignites into something fierce and unforgettable.

As passion builds and secrets unravel, Zoe finds herself facing a choice: return to the life she was bred to uphold-or claim the life and love she's finally discovering for herself.

The Heiress Code is a sizzling, emotionally layered romance about a woman reclaiming her voice-and the man who sees her clearly enough to love her through the fire. Featuring open-door heat, high-society scandal, and a deeply satisfying journey of personal freedom, this is a story for readers who crave heart with their heat and heroines who refuse to stay silent.
