Irina Elif Kazanova doesn't do love. She's built an empire with steel in her veins and no room for weakness. Cold, ruthless, and untouchable, she's lived her life by one rule-control everything.
That is, until the man she was supposed to marry-Maxim Ivanov's brother-abandons her for another.
Now, Maxim is her reluctant fiancé. The last man she wants. The one who makes her want to feel...and never let go.
Maxim doesn't want her either. His heart belongs to someone else, and a marriage to the woman who's always looked at him like he's a ghost isn't part of the plan. But duty is a chain they can't break. And when their worlds collide, nothing will ever be the same.
The battle between duty and desire will tear them apart. But the greatest temptation may just be the one that burns them both.
