Dukes are expected to be untouchable, young ladies are groomed for marriage, and dreaming beyond either is considered dangerous. Miss Y/N Hawthorne has never been good at obedience. Jean Kirstein was never meant to inherit a title. When society forces them into a courtship of convenience to silence scandal, neither expects deception to turn into something far more illicit. Because in Eldia, marriages are celebrated-but falling in love where one ought not to is unforgivable.

Y/N L/N was everything Reiner Braun wasn't. She was unbending when it came to rules. A perfectionist who was never satisfied with outcomes. She was just an intern at The Garrison Firm. A firm that manages the public image of athletes, they're the team behind social media and events. Helping athletes with their media training and reputations. Reiner and Y/N were both chaotic in their own way. Both reckless, one with hands, the other with words. Being only an intern, Y/N L/N accomplished many things. She took on more work than necessary but the outcome was just as great. Athletes whispered her name like she was the tooth fairy of sports. Only seven months into the industry and everyone wanted to work with her. Reiner Braun had a mixed reputation. Some would tell you he was an honest man with a mouthy personality. Others would tell you he was just straight up rude. None of this affected Reiner personally, he never cared for what the media had to say about him, that's what he had public relations for. But would it be enough for him when he's fired countless of people from different teams? Word of mouth spread like a wildfire, firms held back on working with him. How will Reiner face the wrath of his only, and last option, Y/N L/N from the Garrison Firm? Will his fierce personality crash with her own? Or will they meet in the middle of their stubbornness to uplift his image?

You've spent your entire life proving you're worth keeping-training your body, sharpening your ambition, becoming whatever the world asked of you in order to survive in Marley as an Eldian. Paradis is supposed to be temporary. A pause. A place to breathe while the storm you created blows over back in Marley. Instead, it gives you everything you tried to leave behind. Old friends you've missed. Old truths you want to ignore. And of course; an attractive stranger who quickly becomes the bane of your existence here in Paradis. Jean Kirstein-sharp-tongued, stubborn, and infuriatingly familiar. A hockey player who calls you out for wanting more. For wanting out. For refusing to accept the identity you were born into. You clash over pride, survival, and the choices that shaped you both. But beneath the tension is something harder to ignore-an unfinished connection, a promise that never really stayed broken. Because some lives don't drift apart. They collide. cover art by xhealer_ on ig / tiktok!!

She sang to survive, never expecting her voice would change someone else's life. Performing at a local town bar was all Y/n knew, her only source of income and escape. But when a mysterious stranger appeared in the crowd hiding behind a hoodie, a black beanie, and a mask covering the bottom half of his face, he looked more like a thief than a man trying to enjoy his night at the bar. The only thing that seemed familiar were the eyes she had only seen through a screen. The forgotten rockstar, Connie Springer. And what better way to earn money than working for the fallen star desperate to reclaim the career his addictions had destroyed? What could possibly go wrong when you're writing songs for the known walking disaster.

As Jean's younger sister, you've grown up around his friends, taking a bit of a liking towards one in particular, but you wouldn't dare. You've always been told that you were too young for him, that he was "too much" for you, but that won't stop anything.

Y/n used to have a future. Once upon a time, there were dreams of stages, spotlights, and cheers - until a single injury shattered all of it. Now? She's barely hanging onto college, drowning in grades, and doing her best to push the world away before it leaves her first. Jean Kirstein wasn't supposed to stick around. Annoying, persistent, and impossible to shake, he shows up when Y/n least wants anyone to. But sometimes the wrong people slip through the cracks, and sometimes the heart can't tell the difference between a lifeline and a hook. This isn't just a love story. This is a story about a boy who let the light in a girl's dark world, flickering where she never thought it could glow again.
