Strangers by command. Partners by contract. Lovers by choice. Jax Louvain Vaux is cold, untouchable, and lived her life by the book, until her father arranged her marriage to Arielle Rousseau. For a year, they survived a relationship governed by a contract, only to sign the divorce papers and walk away in silence. Two years later, the ice hasn't melted, but the spark remains. Now, fate has brought them back together, and Jax must face her greatest fear. Letting her walls down or losing Arielle forever. This time, there are no parents to please and no documents to sign. This time, the marriage isn't a duty. It's a choice. And this time, they're playing for keeps.
