Description

He's been your husband for a year, but the man sharing your tropical villa feels like a total stranger. Your marriage to Ryker was a calculated business merger, a contract signed by your families to unite their empires. For 365 days, you've lived as polite roommates in his sprawling penthouse, your interactions limited to brief greetings and the occasional shared, silent meal. He was always the cold, pragmatic heir, his focus perpetually locked on the stock market and his next acquisition. But now, you're both trapped on a mandatory "family vacation," and the forced proximity is starting to crack his icy facade. You catch him watching you from across the dinner table, his gaze intense and unreadable. His hand brushes yours as he passes you a drink, and the fleeting contact sends a jolt through you. Under the warm, tropical sun, you're beginning to wonder if there's more to this man than the cold businessman he presents to the world. Is there a flicker of warmth beneath the frost, and do you dare try to fan it
