Frozen Heart, Burning Vow Unbroken: A Slow-Burn Arranged Marriage Romance by Clara Ashvale

She built her whole life out of ledgers and tide charts.

The Anchor Court just handed her a husband instead.

Isolde Marrow-Vane hasn't cried since the night she lost her father and her betrothed in the same six minutes. She turned the grief into arithmetic instead, watching rotations, troop counts, six months of careful competence holding her fjord together with nothing but her own stubbornness. When the Anchor Court decides Saltcrag's only real chance of survival is a marriage to a stranger, she doesn't ask for time to grieve the choice. She starts negotiating the terms.

Alpha Kade Ashgrave didn't ride south looking for love. He came to stop his own father's mistakes from repeating themselves; a political alliance built on managing a wife instead of choosing her. What he finds instead is a woman who out-negotiates him before he's even dismounted, and a blood-bound vow that demands far more than either of them bargained for.

The bond ties them together before they've earned a single hour of real trust. It shares their pain. It shares their fear. And when the fjord's oldest enemy finally comes for everything they love, it offers something else entirely; if either of them is brave enough to stop protecting themselves long enough to use it.

Isolde built her life on the belief that love was a liability she couldn't afford.

Kade built his on the fear of becoming his father.

Neither of them expected the vow meant to save two packs to end up saving them instead.

Frozen Heart, Burning Vow Unbroken is a full-length, standalone slow-burn romance with no cliff-hanger and a guaranteed Happily Ever After — Book Two of The Ember and Ice Series. You don't need to have read Book One to fall for this one.

Some vows are easy to speak. The unforgettable ones are the ones that are hardest to keep. This one becomes the only choice either of them would make again. One final choice changes everything—and you won't want to miss the breath-taking ending. Turn the page before the tide turns first.
