16 parts Ongoing ELENA ROSS has a PhD in Art History and a life she loves in Florence. But when her father's shipping empire teeters on the edge of bankruptcy, she is recalled to New York like a pawn on a chessboard. The price of saving the family legacy? A marriage contract.
SILAS THORNE is the CEO of Thorne Capital. He is known in the business world as "The Algorithm" a man so cold, calculating, and efficient that people question if he has a pulse. He needs the Ross family's shipping routes, and he views a wife as nothing more than a necessary asset for public relations.
Elena expects a monster. Instead, she gets a wall. Silas is dismissive, arrogant, and infuriatingly calm. He expects her to be a silent trophy; she intends to be a headache. But as they are forced to live in his sterile penthouse, Elena begins to chip away at the ice, and Silas realizes that his calculated life forgot to account for one variable: chaos.
