Victor Carson was the kind of man who commanded attention. With his chiseled jawline, smoldering eyes, and an air of power that seemed to freeze everything around him, he was impossible to ignore. The CEO of Carson Knight Group, a ruthless empire built on ambition, Victor had everything-wealth, status, and control. But when it came to love, he was emotionally detached. To him, it was a weakness he couldn't afford. He'd buried any trace of warmth years ago, and the scars from his past made sure nothing could change that. Vivienne Chen, the heiress to the Chen Group, was everything Victor wasn't. Kind, warm, and full of life, she had everything except her parents' approval. No matter how hard she tried, it was never enough. Her marriage to Victor wasn't about love-it was an obligation, a way to please her parents and secure her place in the family legacy. But the problem was, she *hated* him. Victor was a cold, emotionally distant man, and this marriage was nothing more than a business transaction to him. A marriage of convenience. A show. But what happens when two people who couldn't be more different are thrown together in a life neither of them wants? Can Vivienne's warmth melt Victor's icy walls? Will he ever see the woman beneath the perfect daughter and unwilling bride? It wasn't supposed to happen. But sometimes, even the most broken people find a way to heal. (Under editing)

The Accardi family is back. And this time, it's Rocco's turn. At 30 years old, Rocco Accardi is known for a lot of things-his temper, his recklessness, his complete disregard for consequences. As the future underboss of Sicily's most feared family, he was never meant to feel anything. Until her. Alessia Russo, 26, Palermo's top real estate agent, has spent the past three years keeping things strictly professional. Which is hard to do when your most dangerous client spends every meeting flirting like it's a sport-and you've had a crush on him since day one. He's chaos. She's control. Their relationship was never meant to cross the line. But one wrong step-and everything spirals. Rocco doesn't know how to love. But he knows how to destroy. And once he decides she's his, he'll burn the city before he lets her go. Something is coming. And nothing will be the same after it hits.
