Under His Unyielding Roof

Elara Thorne's family legacy, a beloved but crumbling antique bookstore, teeters on the brink of ruin, threatened by merciless debt collectors and a looming eviction. Her desperate plea for a loan leads her unexpectedly to the doorstep of Atlas Kincaid, the elusive, ruthless billionaire known as the 'Ice Prince' of real estate. He offers an unconventional, almost cruel, solution: a substantial investment to save her business, but only if she agrees to live in his secluded, impenetrable penthouse for six months as his 'personal assistant,' bound by an ironclad contract. Every shared glance, every brush of his tailored sleeve, sends a cold shiver down Elara's spine, yet her breath catches with an undeniable, dangerous pull. If she fails to adhere to his every command, not only will her family lose everything, but she'll discover the terrifying truth behind Atlas's shadowed eyes, risking her heart to a man who might be incapable of warmth.
