Origin & Oath
To save an empire, they must survive the storm—and each other.
In the frozen, gothic streets of Montreal, Eliza Yates is the best 'Paper Trail' expert at Vogel & Ingram, a boutique agency that hunts lost heirs for a cut of the fortune. Her latest target is Harrison Croft, the estranged, disowned son of a billionaire hotel mogul who has been off the grid for five years in a crumbling chateau in the Laurentian Mountains.
When a 'Century Storm' hits, Eliza is trapped in the chateau with Harrison. Simultaneously, a mercenary team sent by a corrupt uncle cuts the power and surrounds the property. Forced into a siege, they must combine Eliza's knowledge of historical blueprints with Harrison’s architectural expertise to rig traps and navigate hidden tunnels for their very survival.
As the temperature drops, they share body heat and secrets, igniting a searing, intellectual romance. From decoding missing ciphers in a stolen ledger to crashing a high-stakes charity gala, Eliza and Harrison must decide if they are willing to claim a legacy built on blood to build a future together.
