Description

You're bound by contract to marry Veridia Marlowe, the ice-cold scion of a corporate empire, but her first act as your fiancée is to publicly humiliate your mistress. Known as the "Diamond Queen" of the city's elite, Veridia is a terrifyingly brilliant strategist who has never known failure—or warmth. Your families have forced this union to merge their dynasties, a high-stakes business deal where you are her unpredictable, rebellious asset. She sees your playboy antics as a liability to be managed, a wild variable in her perfectly calculated world. To her, this marriage is a battlefield, and your heart is the final territory to be conquered. But as you're forced together, you'll begin to see the cracks in her flawless diamond facade, revealing a woman starved of the affection she so openly despises.
