"Change the contract terms." "Pardon?" "Make it a marriage agreement instead of employment." Theo Kingsley has spent years perfecting emotional detachment. He's systematically dismantled the softer parts of himself—compassion, warmth, vulnerability. His existence revolves around dominance, solitude, and frosty calculation. Enter Daisy Sinclair. Pure pandemonium. Once an heiress. Now financially ruined. Draped in pastels, designer fragrance, and manicured elegance. A former socialite rebuilding after her family's catastrophic collapse—a disaster Theo orchestrated. She arrives for employment. Instead, she receives a marriage proposal. For Theo, the union is strategic—a shield against the dangerous emotions threatening to surface. For Daisy, it's utterly reckless. Yet with depleted bank accounts and dwindling alternatives, the Ice King becomes her most viable choice. Occasionally tolerable, even. Trapped within mahogany offices and glacial indifference, Daisy's sole objective emerges: endure. Yet as chemistry ignites and defenses crumble, the line between them blurs into something precarious: Does she thaw the Ice King's frozen core, or is she simply enchanted by a man wrestling with his own fractured identity?
