Hated by the Ice Captain

Blurb For years, I loved a boy who made it clear he would never love me back. Angelo grew up in my father’s house. Once, he was my protector. The boy who stood beside me when we were children. Then tragedy hit and everything changed. After that night, Angelo looked at me like I was the reason his life was destroyed. In high school, loving him became my greatest humiliation. I chased him while he pushed me away. I defended him while he pretended I didn’t exist. Everyone could see it. The mafia king’s daughter… begging for the attention of a boy who hated her. But Angelo was never just a boy. He was dangerous. The fights. The violence. The whispers about the things he did to people who crossed him. Still, I loved him. I thought the worst thing he could ever do to me was break my heart. I was wrong. Years later, the same man who spent his life rejecting me becomes my husband. Not because he wants me. Because my father made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. What I thought was destiny was nothing more than a bargain. And when the truth finally destroys me, I try to escape him. But the man I married is no longer the cold boy from high school. Angelo Erasmus now controls an empire built on violence and blood. And the most dangerous thing about him is not the power he holds. It’s the fact that the man who spent years pushing me away has finally realized something terrifying. He never stopped wanting me.
