"I'm an only child now."

With those six words, seven-year-old Haruhi Fujioka severed her twin brother from her life. Left to the cold, calculating grasp of their high-society grandmother, Derek Fujioka learned to freeze his heart to survive.
Years later, Derek is known in the Tokyo financial world as the "Ice Prince"-a ruthless, untouchable venture capitalist who controls billions and answers to no one. He has completely buried his past, opting for a life of pristine, solitary control. But when Kyoya Ootari and the former Ouran High School Host Club walk into his boardroom seeking a fifty-million-dollar investment for their new global startup, the past demands to be paid in full.
Derek is ready to tear their company apart, shred their financial projections, and show Haruhi exactly who she threw away. What he isn't prepared for is Kaoru Hitachiin.
Kaoru knows what it means to be a twin. He knows the terror of separation, and he sees right through Derek's immaculate, frozen armor. As high-stakes corporate negotiations force them together, a complicated, intense game of push-and-pull begins. Kaoru asks for nothing but the truth, gently but persistently breaking down the walls Derek spent a lifetime building.
In a world of hostile takeovers and bitter family rivalries, Derek is about to learn that some bonds cannot be liquidated-and that finally yielding control to the right person might just be the ultimate return on investment. A slow-burn story of corporate warfare, fractured families, and finding the other half of your soul.
