Julian Blackwood has one rule: Maintain control. At all costs.

As a self-made billionaire, he's turned his life into a fortress, each decision a calculated move in a ruthless game. But his perfectly ordered world shatters with a single, unscheduled delivery: conclusive proof he has a one-year-old daughter.

To Julian, this isn't a family matter—it's a hostile takeover. The mother, Ava Chen, is a fiercely independent artist who represents everything he disdains: chaos, emotion, and vulnerability. He launches a legal and financial war to secure his legacy, intending to crush her and claim the child.

But Ava doesn't break. She fights back with a power his money can't touch and a courage that defies his every strategy. In her world, he's not a king; he's a liability. Every brutal tactic he deploys backfires, forcing him into a humiliating retreat.

Humiliated and outmaneuvered, Julian is faced with an impossible choice. To win this war, he must surrender. To protect his daughter, he must become the one thing he fears most: a man who has lost control. But when his ruthless father threatens to destroy them all, Julian will have to decide what his legacy is truly worth—the empire he built, or the family he never knew he wanted.
Perfect for fans of Rina Kent and Sophie Lark, The Accidental Heir is a gripping, emotional, and steamy billionaire romance about a man who must burn down his entire world to become the father his daughter deserves.
