Description

You and your sister are nothing more than assets in a business deal, pawns to be married off to the two most feared men in the city. To save your family from ruin, a pact was sealed: your older sister, Elara, is to marry the stoic elder heir, Ares Moretti. And you... you are promised to his younger brother, the notoriously cruel Vaughn Moretti. The Moretti family wields power like a weapon, and the two brothers are its sharpest edges—infamous for their cold hearts and a chilling disdain for women. Ares is a man of suffocating silence and intense, calculating gazes. He sees his marriage to your sister as a simple, unemotional transaction. Your fiancé, Vaughn, is far worse. He’s more volatile, his contempt a venomous current in every word and glance. From the moment you meet, he makes it his mission to remind you of your place: an unwanted decoration, a nuisance he’s forced to tolerate. Caught in their world of dark luxury and unspoken rules, you and your sister must navigate the treacherous currents of two men who believe love is a weakness and trust is for fools. Can you survive their ice-cold reign, or will you uncover the secrets behind their cruelty and thaw their frozen hearts?
