Foundations of Glass and Ice

The Heiress and the Rival's Revenge in ChicagoAn empire on the brink of collapse. A revenge plot served ice-cold. A passion that could burn them both to the ground. Isabella Rossi is the heiress to the Chicago skyline. Raised on blueprints and the crushing weight of a century-old surname, she believes her bloodline is bulletproof. But beneath the shimmering glass of her ivory tower, the foundations are rotting.
Julian Vane wasn't born with a silver spoon. He clawed his way out of the shadows of Gary, Indiana, fueled by a grudge fifteen years in the making. He doesn't just want the Rossi fortune; he wants the justice that was ripped away when he was just a kid with scars on his back and nothing left to lose. In the dead of a brutal Chicago winter, the heiress and her rival collide at an auction where the final bid isn't paid in cash-it's paid in blood.
Isabella needs to save her family's legacy. Julian wants to watch it burn. Trapped between family secrets, corporate backstabbing, and a hit that forces them into Chicago's gritty underground, they'll learn that the line between hate and desire is razor-thin. They have to decide who the real monster is: the man who wants to destroy her family, or the man in her own bloodline. In a city where everyone wears a mask, who will be the first to crack?
