Book One: Legacy of Deception ​The contract is over. The war has just begun. ​Five years ago, Kate Jones survived the wreckage of her family’s empire and walked into a cold, transactional marriage with the "Ice King" of Greensville, William Dray. Together, they dismantled her uncle’s greed and turned a marriage of convenience into a formidable union. ​But at the glittering five-year anniversary gala of the Dray-Morrison merger, the ghosts of the past decide to RSVP. ​It starts with a gift—a charred wedding ring that should have been lost in the plane crash that killed Kate’s parents. It continues with a hostile takeover led by Lawrence Knight, a shadow from the "Old Guard" who holds a blackmail lever over William that could dismantle their entire lives. ​With the sudden escape of the psychopathic Clark Dawson from a high-security prison and an unholy alliance between the vengeful Ciara and the spurned Gabriella, the Dray family is no longer just fighting for shares—they are fighting for survival. ​As Kate digs into the "Singapore Accounts" and the truth behind the flight that killed her parents, she realizes her father’s legacy wasn't built on tech, but on secrets that certain people would kill to keep buried. This time, there is no contract to protect them. To save their dynasty and their child, the Ice King and his Queen must decide how far into the darkness they are willing to go. ​Some secrets were meant to stay buried but some enemies never stay dead. ​Series Note ​The Dray Dynasty is an ongoing romantic thriller series. Legacy of Deception is the first installment of the second-generation arc, continuing the story from the bestselling standalone, Married to the Cold Billionaire.
