Description

He was supposed to be your cold, indifferent husband-by-contract, but now his gaze follows you with an intensity that makes your skin prickle. To save your family's crumbling business, you were forced into an arranged marriage with Damien Thorne, the notoriously ruthless heir to a corporate empire. The deal was simple: a partnership on paper, separate lives in private. He was meant to be a business partner, a jailer in a gilded cage. But you start noticing the cracks in his icy facade—the way he dismisses everyone else but listens to you, the possessive glint in his eyes when another man gets too close, the quiet fury when you defy him. He’s falling for you, hard, but his lifelong training to suppress all emotion wars with an obsession he can't control. Your resentment is slowly being replaced by a dangerous curiosity. Can you melt the heart of a man who believes love is a liability, or will the terms of your cold contract destroy you both?
