I was once told the best revenge is usually taken in silence.

After a brutal attack on my family that left my father dead and our cartel vulnerable, retribution has been the only thing on my mind. For months, we’ve laid in wait, meticulously planning for the storm to rage over our enemies.

When a moment of opportunity arises to set our plan in motion, I don’t hesitate to take it. Little did I know, my actions would lead to our foes’ most precious belongings falling into my lap.

They took something from us. Now, I was going to take everything from them.

The saying is you can’t outrun your past.

After nearly eight years of running, I thought my life was finally returning to normal. Working as the personal assistant for the CEO of an affluent pharmaceutical company offered me the money and resources to provide a good life for my daughter. Although my boss was known for the cold chip on his shoulder, and his illegal deeds, I enjoyed my job - and being in his company. For the first time in a long time, life was peaceful

Until the ghost from my past appears unexpectedly and tries to turn my world upside down.

When my Hail Mary comes in the form of marriage to my boss, I’m obligated to agree - not for my safety, but for my daughter’s.

But, as the demons of our pasts collide and the lines of our relationship blur, I can’t help but think there might be more to our marriage than I thought.","spice","series_order",3,"average_rating","reviews_count",0,"editions_count",1,"contributors",[],"authors",[96],"King of Ice","edition_id","21567fd5-6ca8-44ce-81bb-4a37b5cc85ed","series",{"_13":93,"_19":94,"_95":25},"year",2024,"first_published","Sep 2024","likes_count","collections_count","slug","976-king-of-ice","format",{"_19":25,"_70":89,"_90":91,"_92":80},"page_count",415,"duration","published_date","September 27, 2024","isbn","asin","B0D9WWVHCQ","hex_code","#5489a2","language","English","cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/972i/21567fd5-6ca8-44ce-81bb-4a37b5cc85ed.jpg","rating_distribution",{"_82":83,"_84":85},"tags",[68],{"_19":69,"_70":71,"_72":73,"_21":-5,"_46":74,"_75":76,"_77":78,"_79":80,"_81":28},34,"name","Marriage of Convenience","category","trope","marriage-of-convenience","url","/tropes/marriage-of-convenience","selectable",true,"sensitive",false,"position","ratings",{},"recommend",{"_86":28,"_87":28,"_88":28},"yes","no","maybe","Kindle","type","print","audio","Cartel Elements","a99c6cd3-ba53-4973-9ce9-70297c9138c6","order",{"_19":97,"_70":98,"_46":99,"_100":-5,"_101":-5,"_102":103,"_104":105},"d26558e6-aa26-481f-b159-16fbc09ddc0f","Asia Monét","75-asia-monet","biography","image","books_count",5,"roles",[106],"author","isLoggedIn",["P",108],"result","seo",{"_13":118,"_119":120,"_21":121,"_122":123,"_75":12,"_124":125,"_126":127},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","titleTemplate","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","robots",{"_148":80,"_149":80},"jsonLd",{"_128":129,"_130":131,"_70":118,"_132":133,"_134":135,"_75":12,"_136":137},"@context","https://schema.org","@type","Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[143,144,145,146,147],"potentialAction",{"_130":138,"_139":140,"_141":142},"SearchAction","target","https://blackauthored.com/books/976-king-of-ice/feedsearch?q={search_term}","query","required name='search_term'","https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
