Behind those eyes
Damian Cole has one rule before he can inherit his father's empire: he must get married. Love isn't required. Attachment is unnecessary. This is business nothing more. So when he signs a contract marriage with Sophia Hale, a quiet, controlled woman he barely knows, Damian makes one thing clear: she will never have his heart. His heart is still buried with the girl he lost years ago... The girl who disappeared without a trace. What he doesn't know is that Sophia is that girl. A devastating accident stole everything from her her face, her name, her memories. By the time she rebuilt her life, the boy she loved had become a man who feels nothing but ice. Now she sleeps beside the man she once promised forever, while he looks at her like a stranger. But secrets don't stay buried. Not when corporate enemies are circling. Not when someone is determined to destroy Damian and the mysterious wife he now depends on more than he'll admit. Not when her truth threatens to break both of them. Behind the face he doesn't recognize... is the love he's been grieving for years. And when he discovers it, nothing will ever be the same.
