The Glacier King's Sweet Pretender

Details

Elara Vance’s artisan bakery, a legacy of warmth and comfort, is on the brink of demolition, poised to become another casualty of Julian Thorne’s ruthless real estate empire. Days away from losing everything, Elara also carries a secret burden: a chronic illness demanding exorbitant medical care she can no longer afford. When the infamous ‘Glacier King’ offers an impossible lifeline, her world tilts. He’ll save her bakery and fund her treatment—if she agrees to be his fake fiancée for six months. Julian’s ice-cold gaze promises nothing but a transactional arrangement, a calculated deception to soften his public image. Yet, the accidental brush of his hand, the unexpected intensity of his scrutiny, sends shivers down her spine, a dangerous undercurrent beneath his controlled facade. Every public smile, every staged kiss, chips away at her resolve. If she fails to convince the world of their love, she loses not only her grandmother's legacy but potentially her very life. Her heart, a beacon of warmth, struggles against the dangerous pull of his arctic charm, fearing the inevitable thaw will leave her irrevocably scorched.
