*One year. One contract. One lie that was never meant to feel real.* Alexander Sterling is everything love is not-cold, controlled, and married to his company. When his parents demand a wife and his empire is put on the line, he does the unthinkable: he lies. Elara Vance was never supposed to be part of that lie. She's warm where he's distant, soft where he's sharp, and far too genuine to play pretend... yet she signs the contract anyway. A marriage of convenience. Forced proximity. Rules designed to keep hearts out of the equation. But lines blur, touches linger, and pretending starts to feel dangerously real. Because the hardest part wasn't staying married for a year- it was remembering why they ever agreed to lie. ✨ Grumpy x Sunshine 💍 Marriage of Convenience 🔥 Slow Burn

Zadie wasn't built for the streets, she was built to escape them. At 19, she leaves Philly behind and moves to Baltimore with her father, enrolling at Morgan University and focusing on her books, her business, and her future. Known for her flawless lashes and growing TikTok fame, Zadie keeps her circle small and her life even smaller. Because she knows exactly what the streets can do..she's seen it through her own family. Dakota, better known as Koda, is everything she's been taught to avoid. Over East, his name carries weight. He moves how he wants, makes his money how he knows, and stays connected to a world Zadie refuses to be part of. School was never his path but Morgan is still his territory through the people he calls family. When Zadie and Koda cross paths, it was never supposed to be anything serious. But in a city like Baltimore, nothing stays simple for long. The more Zadie tries to stay in her lane, the deeper she gets pulled into Koda's world and the harder it becomes to tell the difference between love and danger. Because in the 410... love don't come without consequences.

Imagine being only 17 years old living in the big city of Texas. 27 year old Ace, the most dangerous drug dealer of Houston, had just been released from prison for murder, and who would've known 17 year old Marsai would be the reason why he was sent away. She will run into him and face many obstacles that will try to spill her truth. Will he find out? What will be the outcome? Love or death? Witness or protection?
