Married to the Cold CEO After My Ex Betrayed Me
Ariella Hale loses everything in just one night. After being betrayed by the man she loved, kicked out with nowhere to go, and lying in a hospital bed with a hurt wrist and an unexpected pregnancy, Ariella's life is quietly falling apart. That is, until Damian Armand comes along. He should have walked away from the woman he bumped into, who was shaking from the cold, while he remained unreadable, unbelievably rich, and known for never getting involved in anyone else's business. But he doesn't. Because, for the first time in years, someone else's sadness affects him more than it should. Damian is the only person standing between Ariella and the world that has tried to break her. What starts out as unwilling protection turns into a slow, all-consuming pull that neither of them can resist. He gives her a place to stay, safety, and room to breathe. But the walls around his heart are higher than the apartment where he keeps her. Ariella tries to heal, rebuild, and protect the life growing inside her, but as she learns more about the man who saved her, she realizes that he has wounds of his own. Her wounds were darker and deeper than the night she got away from. Soon, their weak relationship is put to the test by secrets, past traumas, strong enemies, and the one thing Damian is afraid to face: Damian is not only attempting to ensure her safety. He wants to keep her. But in a world where love has hurt both of them, wanting each other could be the most dangerous bet they've ever made. Damian has to make a choice when Ariella's past threatens the new world they've built together: Is he ready to be the man who never leaves her again? The story is full of passion, healing, tension, and a bond strong enough to change even the coldest heart. It is passionate, seductive, and slow-burning.
