Heir of Nothing, Queen of Ice

Celeste D'Aragon was born to rule. As the cold, calculated face of a legendary jewelry dynasty, she's built her reputation on flawless design and even colder control. But when the Jewelers' Guild forces her into a high-profile partnership with the one man who threatens her carefully sculpted world, the crown she never wanted begins to crack.
Thane Crosswell knows how to stay in the shadows. Exiled from his family's empire and erased from the industry he helped shape, he's spent years building a name under someone else's. Brilliant, obsessive, and quietly relentless, he's collected everything Celeste tried to forget—including the designs she once destroyed. Now, he wants more than her work. He wants her.
Together, they are Covenant Designs: co-creators of a collection meant to honor tradition and revive a legacy. But as creative sparks give way to something deeper and far more dangerous—old wounds resurface and desire threatens to undo them both.
Because love was never part of the design.
And some legacies are meant to be broken.
