An Excerpt from “The Glass Heir”

The following is an excerpt from “The Glass Heir” by Pamela Campbell, available on MixCache.com.

Introduction

Eva Finch has lived the last five years with the unshakeable sense that truth—no matter how deeply it’s buried—has a way of surfacing. For as long as she can remember, she’s chased stories with both ferocity and heart, believing journalism could be her ladder out of obscurity and grief. But with every byline comes a new compromise, a new sacrifice. Suddenly, the career she once built around exposing secrets teeters on the brink, and Eva, once the girl with a city to conquer, finds herself hemmed in by loneliness, the shadows of a personal tragedy refusing to let her go.

In the newsroom, Eva’s sharp instincts have earned her wary respect and no shortage of enemies. Editors praise her intuition while cautioning her against “falling in too deep.” Yet falling is what Eva does best. It’s what sent her searching into the city’s hidden corners and the corridors of power—always looking, always wanting to believe there’s a way to heal by making sense of chaos. The assignment to cover Alexander Morrow’s twenty-fifth birthday gala feels, at first, like just another job: a glitzy, high-profile distraction masking her desperation to reclaim her place in the world.

But the gala is more than a golden ticket into the elite’s gilded cage—it’s an invitation into secrets Eva could never have imagined. The Morrows are royalty of a sort: dazzling, untouchable, and shrouded by rumors as scintillating as the jewels they flaunt. Alexander, the enigmatic heir, is a puzzle in himself—equal parts magnetism and melancholy. As Eva steps into the opulent ballroom that night, she has no idea her pursuit of a headline will draw her into a story much closer to her own heart, one knotted with old wounds and forbidden longing.

Haunted by her own past, Eva must learn to trust her instincts even when every clue seems to lead her astray. As the night unfolds, sparking unexpected chemistry and whispered confidences, she discovers that some stories are written in secrets—and that her own life might be entangled far more deeply in the Morrow legacy than she ever imagined. Every answer exposes new dangers and every truth comes at a cost.

This is not just a tale of privilege and passion, but also of ambition—of the lines we cross and the ones we draw to protect those we love. As she navigates the treacherous waters of power, loyalty, and scandal, Eva must decide: Is the truth worth sacrificing everything for, even her own heart? And in a world built on façades, is there such a thing as a second chance when the glass finally shatters?

Welcome to the world behind the velvet rope. In these pages, lies are currency, love is treacherous, and nothing is as fragile—or as strong—as the glass heir.
