The Flower That Melted Ice

Lillianna Raye Beckham has always known she was different.

With her striking white hair, piercing blue eyes, and an uncanny ability to sense lies, she built her reputation as the most fearless journalist in the city. Secrets are her specialty-and she's never met one she couldn't uncover.

Until her.

Cameron "Ice" Mooney is a name whispered in fear across the country. A mysterious mafia queen with power that stretches far beyond crime and politics, she controls everything from the shadows. Cold. Untouchable. Unbreakable.

But the moment Ice lays eyes on Lilli, everything begins to change.

Because Lilli isn't just another curious journalist.

She's the last heir of an ancient rival bloodline-one Ice's family believed they wiped out decades ago.

Now Ice faces an impossible choice: destroy the only person who could one day kill her... or protect the woman who is slowly melting the ice around her heart.

As hidden magic awakens, old wars resurface, and dangerous secrets begin to unravel, Lilli finds herself pulled into a world of power, betrayal, and destiny she never knew existed.

And the closer she gets to Ice, the more dangerous their connection becomes.

Because some enemies are destined to destroy each other.

And others...

are destined to fall.
