Kiera never believed in second chances-not after the heartbreak that shattered her. And Alexander? Love was never part of his equation; wealth, power, and ambition were all he ever needed. When an arranged marriage throws them into each other's lives, it's nothing but cold glances and polite distance. They're strangers playing roles, living under the same roof but worlds apart. Yet in the quiet moments between the silence, something begins to shift. What starts as obligation slowly turns into something neither of them expected-something real. But can two broken hearts learn to trust love again, especially when it was never meant to be part of the deal?
