Ava Monroe thought she was signing a lifeline, a contract marriage to Ethan Kingsley, the billionaire heir with ice in his veins and secrets in his eyes. 
In exchange for saving her family's legacy, she agreed to play the perfect wife. No strings. No feelings. No questions.
But nothing about Ethan is simple.
Behind the flawless smiles and public displays lies a web of power, betrayal, and buried pain. 
As Ava steps deeper into Ethan’s cold world of calculated deals and media deception, she discovers that the most dangerous game isn’t love, it’s pretending not to need it.
And when secrets from their pasts begin to surface, old flames, hidden alliances, and a shadowy threat watching their every move, their façade begins to crack.
What started as a contract may end in obsession.
Because when hearts are locked in a battle of lies and longing… someone always gets burned.

A GENTLE STORM
