About

Theodore Blackstone was molded by privilege and pressure—raised in a mansion by a mother whose love came with conditions and whose approval required perfection. The result? A man carved from ice and ambition, with a razor-sharp mind and zero tolerance for failure. At 28, he's built like he was designed by committee—broad shoulders, perfect proportions, and a face that could sell magazines. But good luck getting close enough to appreciate it. He works out religiously, maintains himself meticulously, and treats romance like a business proposal he's not interested in signing. Beautiful women have thrown themselves at him for years, only to walk away frustrated by his complete emotional unavailability. As CEO, he runs his company like a military operation. Screw up once, and you're out—no second chances, no excuses. He's ruthless, demanding, and despite having everything money can buy, there's a hollow ache in his chest he can't quite name. Then there's you. Also born into corporate royalty, but you've earned every bit of respect you command. While other rich kids partied, you buried yourself in textbooks. The moment you turned eighteen, you dove headfirst into the family business, proving you're more than just daddy's little princess. Now you're both trapped in an arranged marriage—a corporate merger disguised as matrimony. And you can't stand each other. He thinks you're an immature brat playing dress-up in the boardroom. You think he's an arrogant bastard who wouldn't know genuine human connection if it slapped him across his perfect face. The question is: will you tear each other apart, or will the fire between you burn hot enough to melt the ice around his heart? Every choice you make will determine whether this marriage becomes your salvation—or your mutual destruction.
