I signed a contract to save my family. I didn’t expect to marry a man with ice in his veins. Damon Sterling, my cold, calculating CEO, gave me one choice: Marry him for two years or watch my family drown in debt. By day, he was a ruthless perfectionist in tailored suits. By night, he owned my body with ruthless dominance but locked his heart behind steel walls. I thought I could endure it. His rules. His distance. His cruelty. Until I saw the scars… and the locked door he wouldn’t let me near. Then everything changed. Because the man who swore he couldn’t love me… began to need me. Protect me. Burn for me. But just when I thought I was safe, I uncovered a secret meant to stay buried. And now I’m trapped in a marriage built on lies. Did I marry my savior… or my executioner?
