The Vermont Contract. 1, #2

A glass house. A silent contract. A dangerous lie. Alexander Vane, reclusive tech billionaire, lives in a world of silence. Afflicted by a severe condition where sound causes him physical pain, he retreats to Saint-Coeur, a fortress of glass cantilevered over the Vermont mountains. But his board demands stability, a wife, and a public image. He needs a fake marriage. He needs someone who can exist without making a sound.
Valentina Rovira is a pianist on the run. A master forger with a debt that's not her own, she accepts the contract: ninety days as Vane's wife. The rules are simple. No talking. No noise. Just forty-five minutes of piano every night. But in the silence of the storm, lines begin to blur. The music becomes a language, the glances a conversation. As an unseen threat closes in from the outside, Vane and Valentina realize that the only safe place is the one they are building together.
But secrets have a way of shattering glass, and when the truth comes out, the contract might be the only thing keeping them alive."In the ice, lies are the only thing that keep us warm."
