THE GOVERNOR’S DAUGHTER

(Completed) Grace Cole daughter of Governor Richard Cole , is a rising star in the world of sustainable venture capital. Known for backing eco-conscious startups and women-led businesses, Grace has worked hard to prove she’s more than just political royalty. Sharp, strategic, and unafraid to challenge powerful men, she’s earned a reputation as a force in her own right. Liam Vale, tech tycoon and CEO of Vale Systems, who’s launching a controversial luxury smart city development that threatens to consume green space and historic neighborhoods. His firm needs investor support and Grace’s firm is the only one powerful enough to turn the tide of public and financial opinion. But Grace isn’t easily bought. She sees through Liam’s polished pitch and challenges him publicly, accusing his project of greenwashing. Intrigued by her conviction and unimpressed by the usual billionaire sycophants, Liam makes a bold proposal: he wants Grace to consult on the project, help redesign it, and bring genuine sustainability to the table. Reluctantly, she agrees on her terms. As they clash in boardrooms and behind closed doors, a fierce chemistry develops between them. They’re both ambitious, both brilliant, and both used to being the most powerful person in the room. But their connection soon grows into something deeper something that neither boardroom battles nor political legacies can control. When a leaked deal between the governor’s office and Vale Systems threatens to destroy everything Grace’s built, she must choose between the empire she’s helping shape, the legacy she’s trying to escape, and the man she never expected to fall for.
