marked by midnight: the enemy's heiress

Mira Serrano's plan for the gala was simple: survive, smile, and depart. However, she awakens in an unfamiliar penthouse next to Cassian Draymond, her family's sworn enemy and her brother's rival, a man with whom she has a contentious history. Fleeing before he stirs, Mira attempts to erase the night from memory. Yet, Cassian reappears, possessing her bracelet and a cryptic message, "We need to talk." This supposed mistake transforms into an inescapable secret as Cassian, far from being angry, is unnervingly curious about their encounter. Their families' legacy of animosity, clandestine agreements, and unresolved conflicts looms large. Proximity to Cassian threatens Mira's world, while distance proves elusive. As Mira guards her family and heart, Cassian penetrates her defenses, blurring the lines between a costly error and her sole confidante. Their unintended connection, forged on a night of secrets and rivalry, begins to unravel the truth, irrevocably altering Mira's life and the Serrano empire.
