Summary
He didn’t just buy her debt. He bought her life.
Aria Vance was the undisputed queen of the city’s elite—until her father gambled away their empire in a single night. Now, the only person standing between her father and a prison cell is the one man Aria vowed to never speak to again: Silas Vane.
Known as the "Ice King," Silas is ruthless, brilliant, and currently holds every one of Aria’s debt markers. He offers her an ultimatum that tastes like poison: Be his wife for one year, and the family debt is wiped clean.
Aria expects a year of cold revenge for the way she once humiliated him. She expects to be a hollow trophy on his arm. But behind the closed doors of his obsidian penthouse, the Ice King is anything but cold. He is obsessive, possessive, and has been watching her from the shadows for twenty years.
As Aria uncovers the chilling secrets of "Project Golden Girl," she realizes a terrifying truth: Silas didn't just find her in the ruins of her life. He was the architect who burned her world down.
Now, trapped in a high-stakes game of corporate war and dark desire, Aria must decide: Is Silas the monster who destroyed her, or the only man dangerous enough to save her?
