The Sapphire Heiress (The Sapphire Court Book 1)

A borrowed dress and a last-minute assignment are about to unravel thirty-one years of carefully buried secrets.

Lena Park knows exactly who she is — a grant writer for a Kalihi nonprofit, raised by a fiercely practical single mother in a Honolulu walk-up, and absolutely not someone who belongs at a glittering Pacific Rim gala surrounded by old money and older power. But when her boss needs a last-minute representative at the Sapphire Gala, Lena shows up anyway. She's good at showing up.

What she's not good at is ignoring Adrian Han.

Heir to one of the most influential Korean American dynasties in the Pacific, Adrian is polished, powerful, and precisely the kind of man Lena was raised to distrust. He moves through rooms like he owns them — because he essentially does. And yet, across a ballroom that has no business holding both of them, his attention finds her and refuses to let go.

The tension between them is immediate, electric, and deeply inconvenient. He represents everything she's spent her life pushing back against. She represents something he can't quite name, something that unsettles his carefully ordered world in ways he isn't prepared for.

Neither of them knows the truth yet. But the Sapphire Court does.

Somewhere in its gleaming halls lies a secret that will rewrite Lena's entire identity — and either destroy what's building between her and Adrian, or make it the one thing they can't survive without.
