Story Notes

Summary

He built an empire of ice to lock the world out. She walked into his fortress and refused to let his heart stay closed. When brilliant forensic accountant Aria Vance breaks into Thorne Tower at midnight to clear her late father’s disgraced name, she expects to find hidden ledgers. Instead, she is trapped in the dark by Julian Thorne himself—the ruthless billionaire titan known as the 'Viper of Manhattan.' Orphaned by corporate betrayal, Julian trusts no one. But when Aria proves that the exact same conspirators who ruined her family are currently stealing millions to destroy his empire, Julian makes her an offer she cannot refuse: a twelve-month contract as his live-in fiancée. In his glass penthouse, she gets twenty-four-hour protection from cartel assassins; in exchange, she unmasks the traitors inside his boardroom. It was supposed to be cold public theater. But as high-society galas blur into midnight confessions, Aria’s fierce kindness slowly shatters Julian’s icy armor. And when rival hitmen strike, the cold Viper of Manhattan discovers he will willingly burn his own empire to the ground to protect the woman who taught him how to love.
