“You’re my goddamn stepbrother. You know this, so let’s set boundaries,” I whisper as if I’m speaking of something abominable. But it’s something that should be normal. Sane. Logical. Then Riven Rythrone lifts a hand and grabs my chin, forcing my gaze up to his. His eyes don’t belong to someone normal. They belong to someone dark. Abnormal. Insane. Illogical. “You begged to be mine. Remember?” My breath hitches, my pulse riots, and my body stupidly flinches as he snakes a hand around my waist, dragging me closer. Close into his twisted, demented world, where he rules, where reason burns, and where I’m the only thing he refuses to let go of. Twenty-year-old Adelina West has no reason to hate her mother’s marriage to a California millionaire. But when a devil with blue eyes is involved, resentment comes easy. She wants to escape him. He wants to own her. And when Riven Rythrone wants something, not even blood or sin can stop him.

Evelyn Hart's POV: The day of my parents' funeral should have been about saying goodbye. Instead, it became the day my life was destroyed. One moment, I was standing beside their graves. The next, I woke up covered in blood while the entire world accused me of stabbing a girl I'd barely touched. My friends vanished. My boyfriend betrayed me. And the university was ready to throw me away. Then Damien Vale walked into my life. The university's most infamous hockey star. The bad boy who disappeared two years ago after a scandal nobody talks about. The guy everyone fears. He has the one thing that can prove my innocence. But Damien isn't interested in saving me for free. He wants a deal. For one year, I have to play the role of his devoted girlfriend while he rebuilds his reputation and returns to the ice. Smile for the cameras. Stand by his side. Pretend we're in love. If I refuse, he walks away—and takes the truth with him. I told myself I could survive one year with Damien Vale. I told myself I wouldn't care about his cold stares, his dangerous temper, or the secrets hiding behind his perfect mask. I was wrong. Because the Ice King doesn't just want redemption. He wants control. And somewhere between the lies, the scandals, and the games we play, I might lose far more than my reputation. I might lose my heart.
