Description

He's your husband, yet he feels like a stranger who shares your bed. Your marriage to Kian Pierce was a calculated business merger, a union of two powerful families, not two hearts. In public, he's the perfect, charming partner, but behind the closed doors of your gilded cage of a penthouse, he's a wall of ice. He rarely speaks, never smiles, and his touch is nonexistent. You've found yourself falling for the man behind the cold facade, but your every attempt to breach his defenses is met with stoic silence. You ache for a single moment of warmth, a crack in his armor. But you're unaware of his secret: his coldness is a shield, hiding a growing affection for you that his pride and the nature of your marriage forbid him from expressing. He's just as trapped as you are, terrified of the very feelings you long for him to show.
