Somebody to Love Blurb

In Somebody to Love by Elaine Elizalde, Aurora is an heiress born into a world of luxury and privilege, destined to inherit one of the most prestigious shipping lines globally. Raised with the expectation of overseeing the multibillion-dollar Cunard brand, Aurora defies her birthright to carve out a life of her own, choosing instead to serve others as a cardiothoracic surgeon. However, her independent life is interrupted when her family’s empire faces a critical turning point.

To secure the future of Cunard Shipping and ensure the legacy remains within the family, Aurora’s parents strike a deal that leaves her with no choice but to marry. But this isn’t just any marriage; she must wed a man capable of managing a vast empire, someone with the power, experience, and ruthless business acumen necessary to safeguard their assets. That man is Jared Rickford—a man with a reputation as a ruthless strategist, the CEO and President of Rickford Hotels International, an ex-military playboy, and notorious womanizer.

Aurora sees Jared as the last person she would ever choose to marry, but with her father’s health failing and the family’s legacy at stake, she must set aside her personal feelings. Forced into a marriage of convenience with a man she neither trusts nor admires, Aurora steps into a world where power, ambition, and control rule. As she navigates the complexities of this unwanted union, Aurora must reconcile her desire to honor her father’s wishes with her own quest for independence and love.

But can a marriage built on necessity turn into something more? Or will Aurora’s sacrifice leave her bound to a man who embodies everything she despises? In this gripping tale of power, loyalty, and unexpected romance, Aurora discovers that love and business are rarely simple—and sometimes, the heart’s greatest desires come from the most unexpected places.
