Your Name was the problem(his rules her fire)

Aria Sinclair has never needed saving. Raised to fight for everything she has, she built her reputation with sharp intelligence, fierce independence, and a will that refuses to bend. But when her father’s company stands on the brink of ruin, even she cannot stop the collapse alone. Enter Adrian Locke — the city’s most feared CEO. Cold. Calculated. Brilliant. A man who built an empire with his own hands and never let anyone close enough to touch his heart. To the world, he is power itself — unshakable and untouchable. Adrian needs one thing to secure his next global deal: A wife. Not a lover. Not a partner. Just a name and a role. And Aria is the only woman strong enough not to break under the pressure — or fall in love with him. So begins a marriage bound by signatures, convenience, and rules that both swear to uphold. But in private: They clash. They provoke. They burn. Their arguments are fire. Their tension is undeniable. And every time they collide, the world around them seems to stop breathing. Yet in the world of power and ambition, enemies hide behind smiles — and the past never stays buried. When threats close in and truths unravel, the line between hate and desire blurs dangerously. And the contract that once kept them apart becomes the very thing pushing them together. Not because they need each other. But because they choose each other. Even when it hurts. Even when it’s impossible. Even when love was never part of the deal. ---
