Leila Soliera is used to control-her father runs her life, her empire, and every move she makes. She's ruthless, sharp-tongued, and utterly untouchable... until she's forced into an arranged marriage with Kieran Valmont, the arrogant billionaire heir who seems to exist solely to ruin her.
Kieran thrives on challenges-and Leila is the ultimate one. From the very first moment, they clash, sparks flying with every word, every glance, every deliberate insult. He's charming, reckless, and infuriatingly persistent, while she's ice-cold, fiercely independent, and absolutely convinced she will never fall for him.
But living under the same roof as her enemy... especially with Kieran's family, including the sweet, innocent youngest brother she secretly adores, changes everything. Slowly, subtly, Kieran begins to fall... hard. And Leila? She's determined to keep her walls up-no matter how much her heart disagrees.
