The Ice King's Second Decree

Anya Sharma’s world crumbles when the past she fled catches up, personified by Liam Thorne, the CEO whose icy gaze once melted for her. Now, his eyes are shards of frozen pain, directed solely at her. Her family's forgotten debt, spiraling into bankruptcy, becomes his leverage. He demands not money, but *her*—as his fiancée, a pawn in his empire. Every brush of his tailored silk suit against her skin sends a jolt, a dangerous reminder of a love she sacrificed to save him. She’s an underdog, fighting for her sister's future, her father's health, and her own shattered dreams. If she fails, Liam will dismantle everything she holds dear. But if she succumbs, she risks not just her family’s fate, but her heart, falling for the man who is both her tormentor and the only one who truly sees her soul beneath the layers of his frigid revenge. His touch, though cold, promises a fire she desperately remembers. She’s caught in a gilded cage, where her every breath is for sale, and her heart might just be the ultimate price.
