Silent Heir by Iris T Cannon

She has a scar that’s jagged, brutal, a map of her trauma.
Most people would look away. I can’t stop looking.
Because it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

Are you ready to meet Justin Collins?
Newly crowned leader of the secret organization known as Goliath, Justin inherits a legacy built on secrets so dangerous powerful men would rather kill than see them exposed.
But when an anonymous reporter begins tearing at Goliath’s carefully guarded anonymity, silence is no longer an option.
Especially when the reporter is Rowan Hale.
Rowan doesn’t believe in justice anymore. Not after watching monsters walk free while the system looked the other way. Mercy failed her. Authority failed her. And if the world refuses to punish the guilty, she’ll do it herself.
Stepping into Justin Collins’s orbit was never part of the plan. But once she does, the danger changes shape.
As secrets unravel and power changes hands, Rowan learns Justin isn’t the villain she imagined. He’s something far worse—a man who understands her rage, desires her scars, and is willing to burn the world beside her.

Silent Heir is a dark, gothic secret society romance filled with obsession, moral corruption, slow-burn tension, and brutal intimacy. Please read the trigger warnings.
