"Welcome to hell, Mrs. Vance." On my wedding day, my perfect fiancé didn’t just leave me at the altar; he stole my family’s fortune and framed my father for international smuggling. Just as the gates of a prison cell are about to close on my father, an unexpected savior steps out of the shadows. Alexander Vance. The ruthless, cold-hearted billionaire known as the "Ice Monarch." And my ex-fiancé’s estranged older brother. He offers me a lifeline wrapped in barbed wire: a contract marriage. He will buy my family's massive debt and protect my father, but in exchange, I must become his pawn. Alexander doesn't want a wife; he wants absolute, burning revenge against the people who destroyed his mother, and he believes my father pulled the trigger. Locked inside a web of secrets, I am caught between two dangerous brothers. One wants to destroy me with lies, and the other wants to use me as a weapon. But as the lines between hatred and an undeniable, terrifying chemistry begin to blur, I realize the biggest danger isn't losing my freedom... it's losing my heart to the monster who owns me.
