Zuzanna Vinar thought she had her life under control. Her plan was simple: be a rebel, date a guy her family won't approve of, and eventually escape the cage of De Strona's oligarchs.
That illusion shatters the second she discovers her supposedly perfect boyfriend is living a double life. Before she can even process the betrayal, her father trades her freedom away to secure the family's failing assets.
Her new fiancé is Kijaeh Junior Guh, the arrogant heir to the country's largest banking conglomerate. He refuses to play games, he refuses to leave her alone, and worst of all, he sees right through her.
Desperate to escape an engagement that feels like the end of her, Zuzanna begins looking for any loophole, leverage, or distraction she can find. But no matter what she does, her groom-to-be is already one step ahead.
As the reality of her fate sets in, the line between captor and protector begins to blur.
Caught between the danger of her past mistakes and the possessive cage of her new reality, Zuzanna has to decide: is the safest place in De Strona as far away from Kijaeh as possible... Or right by his side?

Ice star
Fin is a 17-year-old Omega with fire in his heart. A gifted figure skater with dreams too big for the small rink he grew up in, Fin has trained for years-hoping, praying-that one day he'd be noticed by the prestigious Star on Ice coaches of the national team. Among all of that there is Jasen, the ice hockey team's captain and Alpha heartthrob who plays like fire and carries himself like ice. Strong, calm, admired by everyone... and impossible to ignore. As the pressure rises, Fin finds himself torn between two battles: the one on the ice, where he must prove his worth and chase the dream he's given everything for-and the one in his chest, where feelings for Jasen grow stronger with every glance, every touch, every word left unspoken. Will Fin capture the attention of the Star on Ice scouts and rise to the future he's trained for? Will he finally find the mate he always dreamed of-one who sees him, not just his status as an Omega? Or will the harsh reality of competition, heartbreak, and unmet expectations shatter everything he's built?
