Callous Heir (The Heirs Book 5)

The Heirs series presents a new frenemies-to-lovers novel from international bestselling author Michelle Heard. I made the mistake of falling for one of my brother's friends, which was stupid enough, but then I compounded the error by declaring my love to him. Yes, I know - a huge mistake. Now I'm left with my rejected feelings, and Noah won't even look at me. Whenever he has to talk to me, his words are blunt, cutting deeper than any knife. What's a girl to do when the man she loves won't give her the time of day? The answer is simple: make herself irreplaceable in his life.

Noah West, more handsome than all the rest - I loved him from the depths of my being. But then he found out, and everything changed. He became curt, distancing himself from me. I can't fathom why he's reacting this way. Is it because he doesn't feel the same? Or is there something else going on that I'm missing?

Determined to uncover the truth, I set out to make myself an integral part of his life. I start small, offering to help with tasks he's been burdened with. At first, he's resistant, but slowly, I wear down his defenses. Before long, he's relying on me, and I can see the walls he's erected starting to crumble.

As we spend more time together, the undeniable chemistry between us becomes palpable. The way his eyes linger on me, the subtle touches that send shivers down my spine - it's all there, plain as day. Yet, he still holds back, unwilling to take that final step.

I know I should walk away, save myself the heartache. But I can't. Not when I'm so close to breaking through the barriers he's built around his heart. I have to keep trying, to prove to him that what we have is worth the risk.

The path ahead is uncertain, fraught with obstacles. But I'm willing to face them head-on, because the reward - the chance to be with Noah, to love him freely and without restraint - is worth any pain I might endure. I'll do whatever it takes to make him see that we belong together, that our love is worth fighting for.
