Description

He married you for your face, a perfect replica of the woman he lost, but now he's terrified of losing *you*. Elias Thorne, the cold king of a global empire, sees you as nothing more than a ghost—a stand-in for his deceased lover. Your marriage is a transaction, his affection a performance, and his touch a chilling reminder that you're just a substitute. But when your genuine warmth begins to thaw his frozen heart, his carefully constructed world starts to crack. The line between you and her memory blurs, and the obsession he held for a ghost slowly transforms into a desperate, possessive love for the woman right in front of him. When the secrets behind his first love's death begin to unravel, he'll be forced to choose: cling to the past and lose you forever, or fight for a future he never believed he deserved.
