Lena Carter never imagined her wedding day would feel like a sentence rather than a celebration. Forced into marriage to save her family’s legacy, she finds herself bound to Damian Blackwood—a man as ruthless in business as he is in his personal life. Cold, calculating, and utterly unyielding, Damian sees their union as nothing more than a strategic move.
But neither of them expected the sparks that ignite between them.
Trapped in a marriage neither wanted, Lena fights against the invisible chains of her new life, refusing to be another pawn in Damian’s empire. Yet, the more she resists, the more she finds herself drawn to the man behind the icy façade—a man who harbors secrets as deep as his ambition.
When old enemies resurface and betrayals threaten to destroy them both, Lena must decide—will she continue to fight the man she was forced to marry, or will she risk her heart for a love she never saw coming?
A marriage built on obligation. A passion neither can deny. Can love bloom in the midst of reluctance?
