Lyla Anderson has her life perfectly planned: marry her long-term fiancé and escape the shadow of her cold, impossible boss, Alexander Sterling. But one sleepy mistake changes everything. A single mis-sent photo, her crimson lingerie selfie meant for her fiancé, Ryan Martinez, lands in the phone of the one man she cannot stand: Alexander, the Ice King of Sterling Innovations. He says nothing. He does nothing. He pretends it never happened. Until New Year’s Eve. At the company’s glittering office party, Lyla unwraps a Secret Santa gift… a red lace lingerie set identical to the one in the photo. Before she can breathe, Alexander pulls her close, his voice brushing her ear like a forbidden promise: “Bunny, put on my New Year’s gift.” That night destroys everything: her engagement, her reputation, and her sense of control. Drawn together by heartbreak, pushed apart by sabotage, Lyla and Alexander fall into a dangerous, intoxicating orbit. But their pasts aren’t done with them. Lyla’s cheating ex-fiancé, Ryan. Lyla's traitorous best friend, Hazel. Alexander’s vindictive ex, Isabella. A leaked photo. A scandal that shakes the company. A love powerful enough to melt the Ice King and destroy them both. When betrayal resurfaces, when jealousy turns deadly, when the past refuses to stay buried… Lyla must decide whether to run again or fight for the man whose love could rewrite her entire future.
