They say power belongs to men like him. Adrian Vale didn’t just ruin my company he destroyed everything I built… then offered to save me on one condition: marriage. A contract. No love. No trust. Just survival. But how do you marry the man who watched you fall… and smiled? And worse why does it feel like I’m the one walking into his game? So tell me… am I about to destroy him… or lose myself to him first?

I didn’t dream of love, I dreamed of him...a man in the shadows, cold, powerful, impossible to reach, and I didn’t know his name back then, didn’t know he would become my greatest rival; I built my life from nothing, Ember & Thyme was all I had left, my past buried, my heart untouchable, or so I thought, because in a world ruled by power, betrayal, and ambition, I was forced into a marriage with the one man who could destroy me, Alex Dane, my enemy, my savior, my downfall, and the worst part is that he feels like fate, three men wanted my heart but only one was written in my dreams, and I was never supposed to choose him… but I did...so tell me, was I choosing love, or was I walking straight into my own ruin?
