BLURB
Callista Hayes has always sacrificed everything for the people she loves.
Drowning in debt and desperate to save her husband Tristan from loan sharks, she makes the ultimate sacrifice: signing a highly lucrative, commercial surrogacy contract. But the day the embryo is implanted, Callista visits Tristan's office to surprise him, only to catch him fucking a girl on his desk.
Tristan doesn't flinch and smugly reveals he is actually the heir to a massive billionaire empire and his temporary "exile" is over. He throws signed divorce papers at her, calls her a pathetic charity case, and has security drag her out. Humiliated and homeless, Callista is summoned the next morning by the surrogacy agency for a mandatory meeting with the anonymous VIP client.
She walks into the dining room of a sprawling mega-estate and freezes. Tristan is sitting at the table with his new fiancée. Sitting at the head of the table is Kaelen Hawthorne, the terrifying, ice-cold billionaire owner of the city's biggest sports franchise. Tristan explodes, accusing Callista of being a master manipulator who seduced her way into the surrogacy to steal his family's money.
Kaelen, blinded by hatred for his brother, believes the lie. But because she carries his heir, he refuses to let her go. He traps Callista in his penthouse under strict, 24/7 security. Callista thinks she is walking into a highly paid prison sentence. She doesn't expect Tristan to become a dangerous, obsessed stalker. She doesn't expect Kaelen's toxic wife to try and destroy her. And she definitely doesn't expect the terrifying Ice King to start looking at her like he wants to burn the whole world down just to keep her safe.
