She arrives in Canada with a suitcase, a temporary visa, and a language she cannot fully use. What she carries instead are memories she does not speak of - imprisonment, torture, and the quiet knowledge of how close she came to disappearing. He was supposed to be on the ice. A shattered knee ended his career, leaving him on the sidelines, coaching children and learning how to live with loss. They notice each other without words. When her visa begins to expire, a marriage between two strangers becomes the only way to stay. What starts as survival turns into something neither of them planned - a bond built in routines, silences, and fragile trust. Set against the cold of Canadian winters, this novel is a story of displacement, injury, and love that grows without permission - and of the language two people create when words are no longer enough.

Valeria didn't rush. She never did. Inez was pinned beneath her, wrist locked overhead, the hold precise and impersonal. Not pain. Control. Inez scoffed anyway. "That's it?" she sneered. "I've had tutors scarier than you." Valeria said nothing. The silence pressed in. "You don't scare me," Inez added, louder. Brattier. "You just-" "Enough." One word. Flat. Final. Valeria lifted Inez's chin with two fingers, detached as a correction. "Look at me," she said coolly. "If you're going to embarrass yourself, do it properly." Inez laughed, brittle. "You think this makes you powerful?" "I don't think," Valeria replied. "I decide." Her gaze never wavered. "You provoke because it's the last control you have." "I don't belong to you," Inez snapped. Valeria leaned in, voice razor-thin. "You are my wife. You belong to consequences." She released her grip. "Say it." "No." Valeria waited. The quiet broke Inez, she hated being ignored. "...I'll behave, I'll be a good girl" Inez muttered. "Specify." Inez swallowed hard. "...I'll be your good girl" Valeria stepped back, already distant. "Good," she said. "Remember why." #1 older women-13th February (FAST PACE BOOK)
