28 parts Ongoing MatureIrene Bennett has survived a lifetime of cruelty behind designer smiles and gilded family dinners. With a stepmother who despises her, a father who ignores her, and a stepsister who envies every breath she takes, Irene learned early how to fight alone. Bold, beautiful, and fiercely talented, she dreams of building her name in the fashion world-and escaping the toxic home she was forced to grow up in.
But freedom comes in the most unexpected form: marriage.
When her stepmother arranges a surprise wedding with none other than Aaron Grayson-the cold, ruthless CEO of Grayson Corp.-Irene knows it's a trap meant to exile her. What her family doesn't realize is that she wants out, and if marrying a billionaire will do that, so be it.
Aaron Grayson is a man with ice in his veins and a wall around his heart. After years of betrayal and public scrutiny, he's closed himself off from emotions-especially love. Agreeing to an arranged marriage is just a business move to quiet family expectations and fuel media speculation.
But Irene isn't what he expected. She doesn't fear his silence. She challenges it-with fire in her words, passion in her art, and a storm in her eyes. What starts as a marriage of convenience begins to unravel into something neither of them planned.
Secrets will surface.
Past wounds will reopen.
And the more Aaron tries to keep his distance, the more Irene slips through the cracks in his armor.
In a world of contracts, cold stares, and couture, two broken souls are about to learn that the most dangerous vow...
...is the one made with the heart.
"A marriage of convenience. A love neither saw coming."
