"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."

Bound by rules that forbid personal entanglements between supervisors and subordinates, Tim and Lucy bury their feelings just as deeply as she was once buried in the desert. But shared trauma, unshakable loyalty, and an undeniable connection keep pulling them closer together. As Lucy recovers and rises through the ranks, the walls between them erode. Each chapter of their journey follows them navigating the blurred line between duty and desire - through guilt, longing, secrecy, and trust. When Lucy earns her sergeant's stripes, the power dynamic that once kept them apart dissolves, forcing them both to confront what they've been running from: the chance at something real. At its heart, this is a story of survival, healing, forbidden love, and two people learning that sometimes the rules worth breaking are the ones that keep them from happiness.
