She had been just a regular hostess at an elite nightclub. Filling in for a colleague had seemed like no big deal—until she accidentally spent the night with the one man no one dared to provoke: Mr. Black.Mr. Black—heir to the Shadow Syndicate, a criminal empire shrouded in power and darkness.

Tender. Protective. Obsessively devoted.“Come here, baby. Let me hold you.”His touch became her sweetest burden.To the outside world, Mrs. Black—the so-called “Ice Queen” of Silver Crown Corporation—was nothing more than a strategic bride in a high-stakes business alliance.But no one could have guessed… the mysterious CEO’s wife was once just a nightclub waitress, pulled into the world of power, danger, and forbidden love.
