A marriage arranged for power.
A wife chosen for convenience.
A union never meant to include love.
Nali Lifasi is married off to John Miller to secure a global alliance between two powerful family empires—her family’s mining dynasty and his shipping dynasty. The vows are signed, the press is satisfied, and the expectations are clear: this marriage is a contract, not a romance.
Publicly, they are the perfect couple.
Privately, they live separate lives.
As Nali adjusts to her new role, she discovers that her husband’s emotional world is already occupied—and that her place in the marriage is visibility without belonging. Surrounded by luxury, silence, and carefully managed appearances, she must decide how to survive a union built on legacy, control, and endurance rather than love.
Love and Legacy is a slow-burn, emotionally layered novel about arranged marriage, power, and what it costs to exist inside a partnership designed to serve empires instead of hearts.
