When Aryanna Kyle returns to Snow Town, her purpose is clear but cloaked in shadows: infiltrate Darren Miller’s world and exact her revenge. She once had a happy family and parents who loved her more than anyone else. But it was ruined by a man named Darren, and Aryanna swore to make him pay price for it.
However, gaining access to the life of this aloof CEO proves to be as daunting as it is dangerous. For Darren Miller is a man renowned for his ruthless apathy and lethal disregard for anyone beneath him.
But Darren’s world is rife with elusive enemies, which makes Aryanna assume the role of an ally, helping him untangle conspiracies involving his own board of directors and a vicious competitor. The price she needs to pay is signing a contract and becoming his fiancee, like sacrifcing herself to the demon.
Her strategy works. As Darren’s vigilance remains focused outward, he remains unaware of the true threat: the very person by his side, poised like a blade to his back, that becomes the very instrument of his undoing.

Marry to the One Who Betrayed Me

A shock ran through me and then a wave of embarrassment I tried to shake off. The fear lingering in my chest stubbornly flared, and I put a hand over my mouth. I wasn’t that scared girl from years ago, but being in his house and him staring at me in this dark and awful nightmare all felt too close to something I wasn’t ready to face.
