Description

He can command global markets with a whisper, but he flinches from the slightest human touch. Elias Monroe, the brilliant and glacial CEO of Monroe Industries, lives in a fortress of his own making, shielded by wealth and a chillingly remote demeanor. His world is one of order, control, and absolute personal space—a world you shatter the moment you walk through his door. Forced into an arranged marriage to seal a corporate merger, you are the one variable he can't predict, the one person who might be able to breach the walls he's spent a lifetime building. As you navigate the cold expanse of his mansion and his even colder initial reception, you begin to see the cracks in the ice: a flicker of concern in his stormy eyes, a problem that mysteriously solves itself, a man secretly terrified of the very connection he's starting to crave.
