Cold Contracts & Colder Hearts

"Lucy Chen didn't move to Moscow for romance. She moved for distance from her mother, from expectations, from the version of herself everyone assumes she'll become.

Tim Bradford didn't move to Moscow for complications. As a billionaire CEO expanding his empire overseas, he prefers control, precision, and deals that stay strictly professional.

Unfortunately for both of them, Moscow has other plans.

A chance encounter at two in the morning turns into something neither of them asked for and definitely didn't agree to. Suddenly, public appearances are required. Personal space becomes optional. And keeping their distance proves harder than either of them expected.

He calls her "trouble."
She calls him insufferable.

The tension? Unavoidable.

With forced proximity, razor-sharp banter, and a mother who may or may not be pulling invisible strings behind the scenes, what starts as a temporary arrangement quickly blurs into something far more complicated.

Set against the icy glamour of Russia's elite circles, Cold Contracts & Colder Hearts is a slow-burn, high-tension romance filled with power plays, lingering stares, almost-touches, and the dangerous realization that sometimes the most binding contracts are the ones you never meant to sign.

And in a city this cold, sparks don't just fly.

They burn."
