Miranda Vale had everything a woman could dream of—beauty, money, status, and a last name that opened every door in Ashbourne’s upper society. The only thing she did not have was a real husband. Three years ago, she married Cedric Kane, the powerful heir of the Kane family, in a union arranged by their families. One year into their marriage, he left for overseas business, leaving her alone in a cold, luxurious home and an even colder marriage. Now Cedric is back. Miranda is ready to end it. She throws the divorce papers in his face, determined to walk away from the man who treated their marriage like a business contract. But Cedric has no intention of letting her go. Calm, ruthless, and dangerously attractive, he reminds her of everything she would lose after the divorce—her lifestyle, her privileges, and perhaps the one man who knows exactly how to drive her mad. She married him for duty. She stayed for pride. But falling for him was never part of the deal. This is a slow-burn billionaire marriage romance about desire, pride, power, and two people learning that love can grow even in the coldest marriage.
