About
A crumbling family legacy. A ruthless billionaire. A twelve-month arrangement that could save them both-if it doesn't destroy them first.
Elena Marchetti has sacrificed everything for her family's luxury hotel empire. But with her father's health rapidly failing and a skeptical board of directors ready to force her out, Elena is out of time to secure her rightful position as CEO. Her only hope for a capital injection is the last man she'd ever want to owe: Damian Blackstone.
Known in the business world as "The Ice King," Damian built his global real estate empire on a foundation of absolute, ruthless control. He doesn't do favors, and he definitely doesn't do love. But Damian is chasing a legacy-defining acquisition from a traditionalist matriarch who only does business with family men. He needs a respectable fiancée to close the billion-dollar deal. Elena needs his five-hundred-million-dollar investment to save her legacy.
The terms of their contract are simple:
• A twelve-month fake engagement.
• Move into his Manhattan penthouse.
• Smile for the cameras and convince the world they are in love.
• Keep it strictly business. No attachments, and absolutely no falling in love.
But beneath Damian's icy, calculating exterior is a fiercely protective man haunted by his past. As they navigate high-stakes corporate warfare, paparazzi flashbulbs, and late-night confessions, Elena soon realizes that the hardest part of their arrangement isn't fooling their enemies-it's protecting her own heart.
When the lines between business and pleasure finally shatter, and rivals threaten to expose their million-dollar lie, Elena and Damian must decide what they are willing to risk for a chance at something real.
