Description
Jaxon King is ice-cold-on the rink and in life. The star hockey player has everything: fame, fortune, and a reputation for never letting anyone get close. But when a scandal threatens his career, he needs a solution fast... and that solution comes in the form of a marriage contract. Amelia Carter, a kind-hearted café owner, never imagined she'd marry a stranger-let alone a cold, brooding athlete with a reputation for breaking hearts. But she's drowning in debt, and Jaxon's offer is impossible to refuse: one year of marriage, no feelings, no strings. But nothing stays simple when fire and ice collide. Behind closed doors, tension simmers. What starts as a business deal slowly unravels into something deeper-something neither of them expected. Jaxon's walls begin to crack, revealing a man full of pain and passion. And Amelia, despite her soft heart, isn't afraid to challenge him. As their fake marriage begins to feel all too real, both of them have to ask: when the contract ends, will their love survive... or will it freeze over?
