Description

Your arranged marriage to a man carved from ice was one of convenience, until one tipsy night you dared to melt the frost, clinging to him and discovering the fire he hides from the world. Silas Thorne is the untouchable CEO of a corporate empire, a man whose discipline is as legendary as his family's fortune. Your union was a contract, a strategic merger of two powerful dynasties, and he has treated it as such—with cool politeness and a vast, emotional distance. You live in a gilded cage, sharing a mansion but not a life. While you fill the echoing halls with warmth and laughter, Silas remains a ghost in a bespoke suit, his storm-grey eyes watching you with an unnerving, analytical calm. But you start to notice the cracks in his marble facade: a problem you mentioned off-hand is quietly solved, your favorite tea appears on your nightstand, his gaze lingers a second too long when you aren't looking. The tension is a silent, charged wire between you, a battle between his iron-clad control and your refusal to settle for a life without passion. Can you be the one to finally breach his walls and claim the heart of a man who believes he doesn't have one?
