An Icy King... King Caine of Valkhan has spent the last twenty-seven years of his life becoming a force to be reckoned with. Known for his impenetrable castle and heart, foreign leaders curse his name to their council, and noble women whisper his name in secret. Apart from a select few, Caine cares for no one and nothing. He especially dislikes the Solacian family. When the infamous king marches into enemy Solacian territory to reclaim a debt, he does not intend to show any mercy. But when he meets the young princess held prisoner in her own brother's castle, the Ice King strikes up a dangerous bargain to save her life and his own... A Silent Beauty.... Princess Iliana of Solacia has been trapped inside the walls of her family's castle for as long as she can remember. She knows nothing of the world that lies beyond the capital city of her country. Living a sheltered life where her every word is silenced by her oldest brother, she is desperately trying to break free. When she meets the notorious Ice King, her world is thrown up upside down. The young woman knows she should hate the man, the sworn-enemy of her brother, but she finds herself unwillingly drawn into his games. Used as a pawn by two dangerous men, it becomes nearly impossible for Iliana to find her voice. But she will be heard. Like an almighty storm.

Kessiya Saju is twenty three, educated and employed by one of the biggest technology companies in the world. She is beautiful, intelligent and headstrong. She is also Indian, meaning that the next most important stage in her life (according to her parents) is marriage. Unfortunately for Kessiya's parents, she has absolutely no interest in boys as she is too busy planning her high flying career and living her best life. With no actual desire to have a romantic relationship with anyone and mostly just to appease her parents, she gets engaged to a pretty decent, yet slightly boring accountant (who of course is Indian too..duh) So it all becomes a bit of a mess, when one day Kessiya ends up finding her soon to be husband, held hostage, half naked and kneeling on the floor of his living room... with a very threatening looking gun to his head. But what happens when Kessiya doesn't know what she should be more scared off. The gun? Or the bloody gorgeous man, holding it?

THANK YOU, Wattpad, for the HQ Love Watty Award! Concept: A mysterious young woman flees from her troubled past only to discover it is impossible to escape THE SECRET that haunts her. *PLEASE NOTE: This story was originally inspired by the movie "Sleeping With the Enemy". * * * * * "I would never, Steven," she promised, turning away from him in an attempt to protect herself. "I know you wouldn't," he screamed. Cupping her chin in his hand, he forced her to look at him. "Because I would kill you." His words hung heavy in the air. Sarah's heart sank into her stomach. No matter how many times she'd heard the menacing phrase, she could never get used to it. It had the same affect on her as the first time he'd thrown the ugly words in her face. The familiar sting of bile rose in her throat, and she knew she would deplete the contents of her stomach once she was locked in the safety of their master bath. 'If I make it through this time,' she agonized. Her biggest fear was that one day he would really lose his temper with her. Who knew what would happen then? *This story is an unedited first draft.
