THE ICE BILLIONAIRE'S BARGAIN BRIDE
Struggling artist Lily Chen signs a one-year marriage contract with icy billionaire Damien Thorne to save her dying mother. In exchange for $1 million and her mother's treatment, she becomes his fake wife, entering a world of paparazzi, corporate espionage, and his vengeful ex-fiancée. Forced proximity ignites volatile attraction, cracking Damien's controlled façade to reveal a man scarred by betrayal. When Damien's empire is sabotaged by his trusted COO, Liam Walsh, Lily is framed as the leak. Kidnapped by rivals, she faces torture until Damien storms the compound, unleashing brutal vengeance to save her. The rescue reveals a devastating twist: her long-lost father, crime boss Viktor Chen, orchestrated their meeting to destroy Damien. With the contract voided and her father imprisoned, Lily holds $1 million and her freedom. Damien offers her a choice: walk away or choose him. Lily risks her heart, choosing the broken man who taught her love isn't transactional it's two shattered souls colliding against all odds.
