A cold, reclusive billionaire, a dark family curse, and an arranged marriage with the one woman he’s forbidden to love.All my life, restlessness has haunted me, as if a piece of my soul were missing. Then, I met him.
A mysterious, charismatic bad boy in a leather jacket who whisked me away on the ride of a lifetime.
For the first time, I felt truly alive.
But as suddenly as he appeared, he vanished, taking my heart with him. I thought I wouldn’t see him again until I walk into a room to meet the man my parents arranged for me to marry to save my family’s business.
Maxwell Anderson is one of the city’s most powerful men. The reclusive billionaire—the frigid king, as the press calls him—is cloaked in shadows and secrets. He’s overbearing and mercurial, his moods giving me whiplash. He’s the complete opposite of the man I met that magical night.
He tells me he’s cursed, that he can never love me—his love is a literal death sentence.
But what if I’m willing to risk everything—my body, my heart, my very life? And judging by his heated gazes and scorching touches, he’s just as desperate to defy fate?
Can we conquer the curse or will our love be our undoing?
Tropes:
