When she's suddenly got into an arranged marriage with Gabriel, a cold, calculated heir to a powerful family, sparks ignite-but not the romantic kind. With every cold stare, every sarcastic remark, and every power play between them, their tension grows. Neither of them asked for this marriage. Neither of them wants to fall. But in a world full of rules, masks, and unspoken truths... Sometimes, the most dangerous thing isn't hate-it's the possibility of love

He's the new star athlete, handpicked from Europe to lead the team to a champion win. But under the surface? He's unraveling. The pressure, the secrets, the father who only sees him as a ticket to the NBA. When Liam accidentally slams a door into Maliyah's face, neither of them expects that moment to change everything. But it does.
