The Ice King's Flame

I will destroy you, Ethan," she declared, her voice laced with icy determination.
He leaned back, his lips curling into a smirk, eyes cold as ever. "You can try, sweetheart. But I'd love to hear how you scream when you fail."
"And when I succeed," she shot back, her gaze burning with unspoken fury, "I'll savor the sound of your downfall."

Riley Harper had made a vow to bring Ethan Cross to ruin. His empire, his power, everything he held dear-she would tear it apart, piece by piece. But what she didn't see coming was the undercurrent of something else that tied them together-a spark, a fire that neither of them could explain.

Ethan Cross had never known tenderness. He took what he wanted, when he wanted, but love? It was something he left for fools. He'd lived his life as a king of the cold, unfeeling world he'd built. But after a scandal involving Riley, revenge became his obsession. He would make her regret crossing him, make her feel the sting of her actions until the very end.

But what he hadn't counted on was the magnetic pull she had over him. Despite his hatred, his mind kept drifting back to her-the way she challenged him, the way she made him feel things he never allowed himself to.

As they face off, each driven by their own desire for vengeance, neither of them realizes the danger of the chemistry between them. The fine line between hatred and passion has never been so thin, and soon they will have to decide: Is it just a game, or is something far darker, far deeper pulling them together?
