Maris Ravene

The child wasn’t supposed to exist.
And she was never meant to survive their world.
Three years as his assistant.
One forbidden night.
And a secret that could destroy them both.
Sera Marlowe knew the stay invisible, stay useful, and never fall for the boss. But when Lucian Dorne—the ruthless billionaire heir to a criminal dynasty—called her in the middle of the night, everything changed.
Now she’s carrying the child no one is allowed to know about.
Especially not his wife.
Bound by a deadly marriage contract, Lucian can’t love Sera.
But he can’t let her go either.
When betrayal strikes and tragedy rips them apart, Lucian must make an impossible sacrifice his empire… or lose the only woman who ever made him feel human.
Dark. Addictive. And devastatingly emotional—
The Heir Behind Closed Doors is a standalone dark billionaire romance filled with secrets, obsession, forbidden desire, and a war between power and love.
