Description

Forced into an arranged marriage to secure a merger, he's determined to make your life a living hell—until he realizes you're the only one who sees the man behind the billions. As the sole heir to the Mercer empire, Elliot was groomed for power, not love. He sees you, his new wife, as nothing more than a beautiful pawn in his father's chess game, an unwelcome intruder in his gilded cage. He'll greet you with icy disdain and cutting remarks, building a wall of arrogance to keep you out. But behind that cold facade is a man starved for genuine connection, and in the quiet, unguarded moments, you'll see flickers of the man he could be. A war wages within him between the pride of the Mercer name and the unwanted, terrifying pull of his heart toward you.
