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

I slowly took a seat again across from Darren.


I hadn’t expected that, not from him, not ever. Darren Miller, CEO of Miller Corporation was a man with more power than most people could dream of. He could marry anyone. I wondered why me.


It didn’t make sense. He had options—rich women, powerful women, women who would give anything to stand beside him. He could have his pick. Yet he was sitting there, looking at me like this was normal. He acted like this was just business.


My chest tightened with a sharp stab of confusion and anger.


“You’ve got to understand something. I don’t have the luxury of a normal marriage. Everyone who approaches me wants something.” He gestured around his office. It had golden set pieces of exotic animals, clocks, plaques, and more—each one a rich man’s bobble. “Status. Power. Control. They’re not interested in me. They’re interested in what I can offer them.”
