"Six months of love erased by dynastic duty. An arranged marriage. And a silent vendetta that tastes like obsession."
At thirty, Eden is cynical, transparent, and carries a mountain of failed relationships behind her. She is almost convinced that her soulmate doesn't exist in this lifetime, until she meets Ji-ho - a charming Korean scion who falls head over heels for her. It is a mature, sweeping romance. Too bad his family, a powerful dynasty of industrialists, has other plans: an arranged marriage to secure strategic alliances.
Bowing to societal pressure, Ji-ho leaves her, destroying his own heart, and walks away. It seemed like the end, but it was only the beginning of the collapse.
Months later, Eden's company is acquired, and Ji-ho steps in as the new CFO.
Finding themselves trapped within the same office walls, bound by a suffocating forced proximity, becomes a daily torture.
Eden erects a wall of ice; Ji-ho, consumed by remorse, uses every ounce of his financial power to keep her past working hours.
But what Eden doesn't know is that Ji-ho's iron self-control is giving way to a lucid madness. To avoid giving his family an heir against his will, he makes an extreme decision, on his own body.
Forced to face the hell of a sham marriage just to protect her, he will cast all ethics aside the moment his parents tighten their grip on Eden. Caught between questionable methods of persuasion and a love bordering on visceral possession, he will stop being the man she once loved-transforming into someone willing to do absolutely anything to take her back, despite her attempts to build a new life without him.
A high-emotion, psychological dark/contemporary romance.
A slow-burn story featuring emotionally mature characters swept up in power dynamics, unspeakable secrets, and an obsession with no way out.
