The door to my motorhome slammed shut. I expected silence. I found her.
Rhea stood in the center of the room, her face pale, eyes glistening with unshed tears. The sight was a sucker punch to my gut.
"You're okay," she whispered, her voice a broken tremor.
All my rage, my ice, my control-it shattered.
I crossed the room in three strides, my hands framing her face. She flinched, but didn't pull away.
"I'm fine," I growled, the words rough and foreign.
And then I kissed her.
It wasn't for the cameras. It wasn't part of the deal.
It was a confession. A surrender.
And the biggest mistake of my life.

Rhea Roy Chaudhary's life is a carefully curated performance. As the heiress to a crumbling empire, her image is her only currency. So when a single, scorching glance from Formula 1's infamous "Ice King," Lorenzo Vitale, catapults her into a global scandal, she's forced to make a deal with the devil himself.
Lorenzo's offer is as cold as his reputation: six months of fake dating to clean up her family's name and bolster his own pristine brand. A contract drawn in ink and mutual benefit. No real feelings. No messy complications.
But Lorenzo is a man who thrives on control, and Rhea is the one variable he can't calculate. Behind the staged kisses and paparazzi-perfect smiles, a dangerous game begins. Every touch feels like a lie that's too real, every whispered endearment in her native tongue a crack in his icy facade.
He called her his wildest obsession as a strategy. But when the line between performance and passion shatters, they'll both discover that some risks lead to ruin-and others to a love so consuming it could destroy them both.
