Frost and Ember
Betrayed by her father and fiancé, Estella Montharne is left to die in the snow.
But death, it seems, is a mercy reserved for others... Not her.
On the verge of death, she is found by the man she hates most in the world, her bitter rival: Adrian Lykas, the Alpha of Frostveil.
Rather than let her die, he claims her whole being as his. Whatever his reasons, they are anything but kind.
He prevents her from taking her own life with a sacred bind and forces her into a fake marriage to satisfy his family's pressure to take a Tethered One. Specifically because she is the one woman he would never regret hurting, the one woman he could never love, and the one who could never love him.
