Spoiled love book #1

Éveline Cartier has never met a man more insufferable than Nikolài Volkova. Arrogant, cold, and entirely too smug for his own good, he represents everything she hates about their privileged world. But when their families demand they form an alliance-one built on power, wealth, and the preservation of their status-Éveline has no choice but to tolerate him.

Nikolài isn't thrilled about it either. The fiery, sharp-tongued French heiress gets under his skin in a way no one else ever has. But in their world, emotions are a weakness, and trust is a game only the foolish play.

Forced into the same circles, Éveline and Nikolài are expected to smile, shake hands, and pretend they're allies. But the more time they spend together, the harder it is to deny the attraction crackling between them. Until one night-one reckless decision-changes everything.

In a world where love is a transaction and loyalty is a myth, they'll have to decide: keep up the war, or risk everything for something real.
