This one’s perfect for anyone after a steamy read packed with some of the most beloved tropes in the genre. And trust me, there’s a little complication in this book that completely raises the stakes…
If that sounds like a bit of you, keep reading and let me tell you all about it.
Legacy Of Deception By Dani Ryan: Synopsis
An Italian billionaire.
His little sister’s best friend.
A marriage neither of them agreed to.
A secret that could burn it all down.
Marco Deluca has been a pawn in his father’s empire his whole life. So when a clause buried in the will puts his path to CEO at risk, he’s backed into the one role he swore he’d never play.
Husband.
And the woman he’s meant to marry? Brooklyn Briggs, his younger sister’s best friend, all reckless charm and high-society trouble, and the very last person he should want.
There’s only one complication.
She’s pregnant.
And the baby isn’t his.
The engagement is meant to be strictly transactional. A contract, nothing more. Marco needs leverage to seize back control of the family empire; Brooklyn needs shelter from the disaster her father left behind.
What neither of them plans for is the pull between them. Or the jealousy that comes with it.
But the moment Marco decides Brooklyn belongs to him, he’ll tear through every rule, every secret, and every legacy that dares stand in their way.

Who Is This Book For?
This one’s for readers who love a billionaire romance with real stakes, the kind that stacks forced marriage, secret baby, and forbidden best-friend’s-brother tension into one addictive read. If you don’t mind serious heat on the page, if you live for chemistry that starts as obligation and turns into obsession, and if you want a hero who’ll burn down his own empire for the woman he swore he’d never want, then Legacy of Deception belongs at the top of your TBR.
Marco Deluca needs a wife to secure his throne. Brooklyn Briggs, his little sister’s best friend, pregnant with another man’s baby, and the last woman he should touch, needs protection. What’s meant to be a cold business arrangement turns into something neither of them can control.
It’s the perfect pick if you loved the simmering tension and high-society drama of your favourite marriage-of-convenience and secret-baby romances.
