About the Book
“The dangerous ones make you feel safe.”
Fourteen years ago, Helena Bennett vanished. Her daughter, Sloane Bennett, was fifteen years old.
Now a photograph has surfaced, showing her mother alive. And the man standing at the center of every answer is Adrian Cross.
Adrian offers Sloane a marriage contract. His ring and his protection. In exchange, Sloane gets access to the estate and the sealed records.
It is a contract. It is not a love story.
Because Julian Cross is still watching. The records are still sealed. And someone is still sending Sloane pieces of the truth. In this family, protection is just control with better manners.
He married her to uncover her family secrets. He never expected her to become his greatest threat.
If you read it, an Amazon review means everything to a debut author. It is how the next reader finds Sloane and Adrian.

About the Author
Makayla Baker
I write dark romance about powerful families, buried secrets, and women who refuse to stay buried with them.
I am fascinated by family secrets and the price of finally telling the truth. I write about complicated relationships and truths people will do almost anything to keep buried. My stories pair marriage of convenience arrangements with slow burn tension, powerful families with dangerous ledgers, and heroines who investigate their own lives like a case no one else was brave enough to open.
The Cross Inheritance is my debut novel and the first book in the Cross Inheritance series. Book Two, The Cross Reckoning, is coming soon.
I am also a graphic designer and an artist. My husband and I designed the cover of The Cross Inheritance ourselves.
