His Cold Heart, Her Hidden Fire Everyone at Crestmont Academy thinks they know Chloe Smith. Billionaire heiress. Cheer captain. Ballet prodigy. Untouchable. They're wrong. Behind the perfect smile is a girl living three secret lives. By night, she's an anonymous underground dancer known only as Cee. In the quiet hours, she pours her heart into charcoal sketches signed Cee's Art. If the truth ever gets out, everything she's built will collapse. Logan Hayes is the last person she ever wants in her life. The academy's cold-hearted sports king, heir to a powerful empire, and a boy with demons buried deeper than anyone realizes. One brutal encounter turns them into enemies. Forced together by fate, their constant clashes slowly become stolen glances, impossible tension, and a love neither of them is prepared for. But love isn't their greatest enemy. Old family secrets, dangerous lies, ruthless rivals, and a contract signed long before they were born are waiting to tear them apart. Just when they believe they've finally found happiness, the past comes back to claim them, forcing them to choose between the lives they were born into and the future they dream of together. Some hearts are frozen. Some hearts are on fire. And some love stories are worth risking everything for.
