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)

Love isn't always gentle. Sometimes, it's cruel. Sometimes, it's obsessive. And sometimes, it's dark enough to ruin you. Mia Romano was born into silence, and the world ensured her suffering for it. As the mute daughter of the Chicago Mafia's consigliere, she was treated like a defect, a flaw to be erased. With no voice, she felt invisible at least in the ways that mattered. She was mocked, mishandled, and used. In her own home, she existed only when her father needed something to break. And even then, he didn't hesitate. Not once. By twelve, she understood the weight of fear like a second skin. She learned how to survive by shrinking, how to disappear without moving. But monsters have a way of sniffing out the quietest prey. Remo Vittorio was the worst kind of monster. As the Capo of Las Vegas, his name was spoken only in whispers, if at all. He didn't rule with fear; he was fear itself. He built an empire on blood and silence, a storm that came without warning, an executioner who didn't flinch. Men twice his size bowed to him. Entire families vanished under his orders. His mercy was a myth. He felt no guilt. He didn't believe in love. But the first time he saw her, fragile and wide-eyed, a porcelain doll surrounded by wolves, something inside him cracked. Not softened. Not healed. She was terrified of him, and that only made it worse. Because Remo Vittorio didn't know how to love gently. He only knew how to keep. And once something was in his grasp, he never let go. An angel was given into the hands of the devil himself.
