He built an empire to protect what was his. Now he must surrender control to guide them through the storm.
Alexander
It was supposed to be four days in a luxury château overlooking a frozen river, with nothing on my calendar but my wife. Then the call came at 3:40 in the morning.
I’d built an empire bending the world to my will.
Money bought access, obedience, and pleasure, but it couldn’t stop a blizzard.
Four hundred miles south, behind a wall of snow that grounded every plane on the East Coast, was the one gift we’d prayed for—and everything I had left to lose.
I’d never knelt before fate. But that night, I was willing to crawl.
Krystina
Nine years of surrendering to Alexander Stone meant I knew the language of his body better than my own. I felt the shift in his breathing before I even opened my eyes.
When his phone screen cut through the darkness, I didn't need to hear the doctor’s voice to know our silent nightmare had collided with reality.
This time, all the wealth and status in the world couldn't save us.
My husband’s touch usually commanded, but tonight, we both needed an anchor.
We had stood over the ashes of heartbreak before, and I refused to let the winter win.
