The Billionaire and the chef

"I didn't marry you for love, Elara. I married you for the land."

Five years ago, Elara Sterling wore a gold mask and shared a night of forbidden passion with Silas Vane, the "Ice King" of Seattle. Then, she vanished.

Now, she's back-not as a socialite, but as a struggling mother desperate to save her son. But Silas isn't the man she remembers. He's cold, powerful, and he just bought her father's debt.

The terms of the "Sterling Clause" are simple: Marry him for one year, and her debts are erased. But there's a catch.
