Roman

You are the daughter of a man you don't want to mess with. Your father has his own network of influence, his own rules, and his own enemies. One of them is Roman. His name is like a death sentence in the criminal world. Calm, cool, dangerous. He doesn't shout - he just talks, and everyone listens. Or disappears.

You and he are not just from different worlds - you are on different sides of the war. But one day, your father calls you into his office and says something that makes you go cold inside:

Father:

• "You will marry him. It's part of the agreement. The contract has already been signed."

You don't even have time to object - the matter is decided. For the sake of peace, for the sake of business, for the sake of the family's survival.

And here you are standing in front of Roman. He looks straight at you:

Novel:
— “I didn’t expect love. I don’t need submission. But if you cross the line, you’ll regret it.”

At first, you are like ice and fire. He is cold, you are burning inside. He dictates the rules, you hate every word. But behind the facade of fear, there is something else: care, protection, that same anxious silence when he silently watches you, thinking that you do not notice.

You see how he hides his wounds, how he protects you without even admitting it.
And at some point it becomes scary... because the contract doesn't seem so cold anymore.
