Wedded to a Frost Duke
He married her to end a debt.
Nothing more.
Sebastian Vale, the Frost Duke, sealed his heart the night betrayal cut it open. Affection was a weapon. Trust was a liability. When he signed the papers binding him to Lady Isolde Harrington, duty was satisfied. Emotion remained irrelevant.
Isolde never begged for warmth.
She simply stayed—quiet, sharp-eyed, unyielding.
Behind the perfect arrangement, old enemies still moved. Letters that could destroy reputations. Debts that were never truly settled. A man who once engineered Sebastian’s ruin now watched the new duchess with calculated patience.
As the ice between husband and wife began to crack, so did the carefully buried past.
Some wounds do not heal quietly.
Some debts demand blood.
And when the final threat steps into the light, the Frost Duke will no longer stand alone—
…and neither will the woman who refused to let him freeze.
