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

As I watched Darren’s hand press firmly against his stomach, realization struck. His old stomach trouble was back. I’d seen this before—back when I’d first known him, back when I’d been naive enough to think I understood him. Darren’s lifestyle had always been a mess: too many late nights, constant travel, and barely enough time to sit down for a real meal. Lunch and dinner were afterthoughts. If he ate at all, it was cold sandwiches or day-old bread, things he could grab on the go. He’d push himself until the pain caught up, too stubborn to slow down even when his body rebelled.


I learned to spot it back then—the way he’d tense his jaw, his shoulders stiffening as if sheer willpower alone could keep the pain at bay. But it never worked for long.
