Ethan was forced into a world he never wanted-one built on power, blood, secrets, and men dangerous enough to destroy everything they touch. And at the center of it stood Dante: cold-eyed, ruthless, impossible to understand. Their vows were never meant to mean anything. Not when the marriage was arranged. Not when trust felt more dangerous than hate. But somewhere between the threats, the betrayals, the violence, and the nights that left scars deeper than wounds, the line between survival and love began to blur. They realize that some vows are not meant to break. Even the cold ones.

'No kisses.' 'Uh, what?' 'No kissing on the mouth. It's too personal,' Ivan says. Is the guy trying to get him to bed or trying to offend him?

Despite a no-strings-attached arrangement, Riyaan finds himself falling hard for Ivan. Not realising that somewhere between falling in love and having his feelings reciprocated, there's heartbreak that is all-consuming and soul-shattering. A complete HEA.
