He came home to sell the past. She was the one thing he couldn't leave behind.
They were best friends once. Fifteen years later, he comes home—and discovers friendship with her was never going to be enough.
Edward Fosbrooke and Bea were inseparable growing up. He was the heir to an English estate; she was the girl next door who knew him before the title, the billions and the life he built in London.
Then Edward left. And somewhere along the way, they became strangers.
Now he’s back.
Bea has built a life she loves, running a community gardening project on Edward’s family estate. She thinks his return might finally be their chance to find their way back to the friendship they lost.
She has no idea he’s planning to sell the place she’s built her life around.
And Edward has a problem of his own: the more time he spends with Bea, the less anything about leaving feels simple.
Because the girl he remembers has become a woman he can’t stop wanting. And friendship is starting to feel like the one thing he can’t settle for.
Empire of Capital is a steamy childhood friends-to-lovers billionaire romance featuring a British aristocrat who falls first, years of unresolved history, forced proximity, English countryside, London glamour and plenty of heat. This can be read as a standalone.
