Inheritance of Sin

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. A dead billionaire’s twisted will. A brutal winter storm. A forbidden temptation that could cost them everything. For fifteen years, thirty-nine-year-old Elena was a perfectly curated display piece. As the wife of narcissistic billionaire Marcus Blackwood, she surrendered her voice, her dreams of architecture, and her autonomy. Now that Marcus is dead, she expects freedom. Instead, his final act of control is a cruel, ironclad will: to inherit his $2.3 billion empire, she must spend thirty consecutive days living in the isolated, brutalist Blackwood Estate. The catch? She isn't doing it alone. Jax is Marcus’s twenty-five-year-old estranged son. A rugged oil-rig worker who fled his father's abuse years ago, he returns to the estate fueled by raw, explosive anger. Forced to cohabitate to secure his mother's legacy, Jax despises the elegant, icy stepmother he believes was complicit in his father's cruelty. But when a massive, whiteout blizzard cuts the estate off from the rest of the world and kills the power, the freezing concrete mansion becomes a cage. Survival forces them to share the only source of heat, stripping away their defenses and their bitter eight-year standoff. Beneath Jax's rage is a fierce, protective tenderness, and beneath Elena's frozen exterior is a woman starved for touch and burning to reclaim her life. As the temperature plummets, their mutual hatred thaws into a scorching, forbidden attraction. With a corrupt estate executor watching their every move, waiting for a violation of the a vague "morality clause," giving in to their desires means risking the entire fortune. But as the storm rages on, Elena and Jax are about to discover that tearing down the past might be the only way to build a future—and some sins are worth the inheritance.
