Asher is a control freak on and off the ice. From Day 1, Elena is the only person who doesn’t look at him with awe. Her presence disrupts his focus.

Her husband stole her work, her heart, and left her with nothing—but one fateful night changes everything. A stranger, dangerous and cold, offers a night with him, and by morning, she’s carrying his twins.With her family on the brink of financial collapse, Aria has no choice but to marry reclusive billionaire Kaden Sterling—a man rumored cold, calculating, and impossible to tame. But the man behind the empire is far more than a rumor: commanding, brilliant, and unexpectedly connected to the life growing inside her.
