HE WAS THE RIVAL WHO BROKE ME. NOW, HE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN PIECE ME BACK TOGETHER.To the world, Enzo Venturi is the "Ice King" of the glass industry. He doesn’t play with fire; he works in the Cold Shop, where diamond saws and high-pressure grit turn raw glass into lethal, shimmering art. He’s precision personified. He’s also the man who walked away from me five years ago, leaving my heart as jagged as the shards on his studio floor.

Now, I’m back in Silica Springs, but not for a reunion. As a corporate fixer, I’ve been sent to "restructure" his family’s legacy. He thinks I’m the cold-blooded shark here to gut his business. I think he’s the arrogant artist who thinks he’s too elite to be bought.

But someone else is watching us.

When "accidents" start happening in the shop—sabotaged equipment, shattered masterpieces, and a series of threats that feel way too personal—the rivalry between us turns into a fight for survival. Someone wants to bury Silica Springs, and they’re starting with me.

When the town is cut off by a brutal ice storm, I’m forced into the one place I swore I’d never go: Enzo’s world.

He’s grumpy, protective, and possesses a "Touch Her and Die" streak that’s as terrifying as it is addictive. As the temperature drops, the friction between us reaches a shattering point. I came here to save a company, but I might just lose my life—or worse, my heart—to the man who knows exactly how to handle my sharpest edges.

The Shattered Edge is a high-heat, high-stakes Enemies-to-Lovers Second Chance romance. It features a hyper-competent hero who works with his hands, a corporate "shark" heroine with a secret, and enough industrial tension to melt the Cold Shop.
