KAMILA

"Touch her, and I will erase your entire lineage from this city before sunrise."

To the corporate world, Kai Sterling is the Arctic Prince-a ruthless billionaire tech tycoon wrapped in bespoke charcoal wool and matte-black leather gloves. He runs his empire like a clinical machine, harboring a dark, traumatic past that he locked inside a fortress of ice fifteen years ago. He has forgotten how to feel. He has forgotten how to smile.

Enter Emily Vance.

A chaotic burst of pure strawberry sunshine, Emily accidentally shatters his untouchable world when she ruins his pristine multi-thousand-dollar suit with a melting ice cream cone. Trapped in a high-friction three-month contract to pay off the damages, she becomes his personal assistant. She refuses to bow to his shadow. Instead, she brings warm smiles, homemade cookies, and a bright light that threatens to melt his carefully constructed defense.

Kai fights the attraction with an icy, cruel resistance. But when a lethal threat corners her at an exclusive luxury auction, his cold detachment vanishes into a terrifying protective fury.

He swore he would never let his guard down. But as her light fractures his darkness, a devastating cyber-betrayal drops a bomb on his empire-and all clues point directly to the girl who smells of strawberries.

Can a man who rules the shadows survive the blinding warmth of the sun, or will they burn each other to ashes?

A high-stakes, forced-proximity, ultra-slowburn dark romance filled with intense micro-tension, protective obsession, and a love story that will keep you awake until 3:00 AM.
