Love in the Darkest Hour

A woman returns from abroad to reclaim her family legacy and uncover the truth behind her father's death, setting her against her adoptive brother who now controls the empire. What she doesn't know is that he has secretly loved her for years—and is dying. Every cold move he makes against her is meant to push her into becoming strong enough to stand on her own before he's gone. A story of sacrifice, misunderstanding, and love hidden in plain sight.
