I Have Always Wondered What Love Would Feel Like.

Chantal_Kirwa
Aria Thorne is the "Ice Queen" of New York City—a brilliant, ruthless lawyer who has spent a decade building a reputation for cold-blooded efficiency. She is a woman of secrets, and her greatest one is the countdown she keeps in the silence of her own home. Ten years ago, Aria vanished from London, leaving behind a heartbroken photographer named Julian Beaumont and a life she felt she could no longer afford. She traded love for survival, convinced that emotions were a liability in the high-stakes game of her family’s legacy. But when Julian walks back into her life at a winter gala, he carries more than just his camera; he carries the fragments of the girl Aria tried to kill off. As he uncovers the truth of why she really left—and the terrifying, terminal diagnosis she has been hiding from the world—the carefully constructed wall around Aria’s heart begins to shatter. Forced to choose between the cold, lonely path of her past and a fragile, uncertain future, Aria must decide if the pain of truly living is worth the price of letting someone in. In a world where secrets are currency, Aria and Julian are about to discover the most dangerous truth of all: Love isn’t a feeling. It’s the fear of the next heartbeat.
