Sylvia Matthews has always lived a simple life, working at a small-town diner, content with her modest existence. But when a chance opportunity knocks, she leaves her comfort zone behind and steps into the glittering world of corporate power. Hired as an intern by the enigmatic and ruthless CEO, Leo King, Sylvia is thrust into a world where ambition, secrets, and danger collide. Leo King is everything Sylvia isn't: cold, calculating, and distant. His icy demeanor and unapproachable nature make him the kind of boss everyone fears. But what no one knows is that beneath his perfect, professional façade lies a man with a dark and dangerous past. Leo is not just a business tycoon-he's the feared and elusive mafia lord who rules a hidden empire, and the power he commands is as deadly as it is alluring. Despite the gulf between them, Sylvia's cheerful, bubbly personality begins to break down Leo's walls. She refuses to cower in his presence, seeing something in him others can't-perhaps a glimmer of the man beneath the ice. As their professional relationship grows, so does an undeniable attraction, though Leo is determined to keep his feelings buried, knowing that falling for someone like Sylvia could bring dangerous consequences. But secrets have a way of surfacing, and when Sylvia stumbles upon a part of Leo's world she was never meant to see, everything changes. Torn between her growing feelings for the man she's come to care for and the terrifying truth about his mafia ties, Sylvia must navigate a treacherous path where love, loyalty, and betrayal are all too real. In a world where danger lurks around every corner, can Sylvia trust Leo with her heart? And more importantly, can she survive the consequences of loving a man with so much to lose? "Beneath the Ice" is a captivating blend of romance, suspense, and danger-where the line between love and fear is razor-thin. Will Sylvia's light shine through the darkness, or will she be consumed by the shadows of Leo's world?

But when her witness protection comes to an end, she is soon captured by the gang leader and told she'll give eight years of her life for the man who was sentenced to prison for the same amount of time. Poppy is forced to work for the spiteful leader, Rexx, who uses her natural beauty to swindle valuable information from wealthy men for his own benefit. She's been counting down the seconds until her freedom. When she stumbles across Gabriel Dalton, the underboss to the mafia, he's charming, attractive and tempting. Poppy expects him to be like the rest, only ever after one thing. But that's when Gabriel proves her wrong. After Rexx discovers her acquaintance with Gabriel, he demands that she spies on him to get information about his family and business. Reluctantly she wants to say no, but she has no choice.
