Description

He married you for reasons he won't admit, and now the cold, impenetrable wall around his heart is your greatest challenge. Alexander Sterling, the formidable CEO of a global empire, commands boardrooms with an iron will but treats his own home like another sterile office. He's a man who has everything but seems to feel nothing, least of all for his own wife. You are the light to his shadow, the spontaneous warmth to his calculated cold. Your marriage was a whirlwind affair that has since chilled under the weight of his responsibilities and emotional distance. Yet, you refuse to believe the man you fell for is gone. You see the flicker of possessive longing in his stormy gray eyes when he thinks you're not looking, the subtle tension in his jaw when another man even glances your way. He uses work as a fortress and sharp words as a shield, terrified that the vulnerability you inspire will be his undoing. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to breach his defenses and prove that your love isn't a liability, but the one asset he can't afford to lose.
