To everyone who knows her, Lumiere Varis is just an ordinary woman running a quiet bakery in Helsinki, usually with flour dusting her apron and a smile for her customers. But beneath that simple life lies a secret the criminal underworld has been searching for a missing piece that could change everything. When Mikael Koskivirta, the ruthless billionaire head of the Pohjola syndicate, tracks her down, he forces her into an arranged marriage, trapping her inside his high-security glass fortress overlooking the freezing Baltic Sea to unite the warring factions of the syndicate. Lumiere fights him with every breath, attempting dangerous escapes into the freezing wilderness. Yet Mikael refuses to back down, his determination burning hotter than the winter winds. When a rival cartel exposes her true heritage, the game shatters. Mikael didn't claim her just to conquer the city. He has spent a decade searching for her to protect her from the monsters who murdered her family, and the betrayal within his inner circle runs deeper than either of them ever imagined.
