Inheritance Clause: I Had to Live with My Guardian. I Didn’t Expect to Fall.

When Tessa Martin's beloved grandmother passes away, her grief is compounded by an unexpected condition in the will—she must live under the roof of her new legal guardian for one year to receive her inheritance. That guardian? Colin Graves, her late uncle’s reserved business partner, a man as emotionally closed-off as the mansion he keeps spotless and silent.

Tessa arrives ready to endure. What she doesn't expect is the quiet kindness hiding beneath Colin’s strict routines. As they navigate shared meals, awkward silences, and the ghosts of a woman who meant everything to them both, something begins to shift. The house grows warmer. The air softer.

But just as Tessa starts to believe she’s found a new kind of home, old wounds and guarded hearts threaten to unravel the fragile connection between them.

Is one year enough to build a future that wasn’t part of the plan?

Or will the clause that brought them together be the same one that tears them apart?
