GIGI KIRU
Love stories where power and ruin collide
About the author
Gigi Kiru is a dark contemporary romance author who writes from the heart.
She enjoys writing stories about emotionally damaged people who somehow find each other and make it everyone else's problem.Her characters are the kind who would sacrifice their entire legacy for love, and then spend 400 pages making terrible decisions about it.Slow-burn chaos, devastating grovels, and men who are definitely too obsessed to be considered healthy but somehow make it work... that's her vibe.Her books are for readers who want to feel everything: the angst, the yearning, and then immediately demand a sequel (which may or may not happen, depending on how attached she is to the side characters).When she isn’t writing, Gigi is usually ignoring her own advice about healthy relationships by reading romance novels, making playlists no one asked for, or drinking iced coffee at concerning hours while plotting how to make fictional people suffer.
The Heir Clause
Ruthless, self-serving Parisian billionaire heir Orion Kade brokered a truce with his family's rivals.Step one: marry their only daughter.
Step two: secure the alliance.
Step three: prove to his dying father, and an entire boardroom waiting for him to fail, that he was born to run an empire, not inherit one.
The plan was flawless.Unfortunately, Léonie Fernández did not agree to the plan.Léonie has spent her whole life performing "perfect heiress" for Parisian society—smiling politely, speaking softly, and absolutely never causing a scene.
She is also spectacularly tired of it.
So when her family informs her she's being married off to a cold, infuriatingly composed billionaire she's only seen in magazines and society blogs, she decides:
If she has to marry Orion Kade, she will make it as inconvenient for him as humanly possible.He wants obedience. She offers commentary.
He wants control. She negotiates everything.
He wants surrender. She argues like her life depends on it.What was meant to be a strategic alliance quickly turns into a daily battle of pride, proximity, and very poor self-control—because the only thing more dangerous than two heirs forced into marriage is discovering they like the fight a little too much.But Orion Kade didn't broker this alliance without insurance. Hidden in the marriage contract is a clause Léonie doesn't know about—one that ties her inheritance to an heir she never agreed to give him.
And when she discovers it, all bets are off.
He'll have ten weeks to prove he's worth forgiving.
She'll make him earn every single second.THE HEIR CLAUSE.
