Kai never loses focus. Not in life, not on the court. Every serve, every step, every breath is calculated. Badminton is more than her sport; it's her structure, her heartbeat, her future. While the world moves in chaos, Kai moves in rhythm. She doesn't get distracted. She doesn't look away. Until him. Nate's life is a pre-written script. Born into one of the city's most influential families, he was raised to follow the map laid out for him: study hard, take a prestigious tech degree, marry his childhood friend, join the family empire. No surprises. No mistakes. Kai wasn't in the plan. She didn't even belong near it. But when their paths cross, her focus against his control, her fire against his stillness, both their worlds begin to tilt. She shouldn't care about a boy who doesn't even know how to hold a racquet. He shouldn't think twice about a girl whose life couldn't be more different from his own. And yet, neither of them can look away. Because sometimes, one glance is all it takes to throw an entire life off balance. And every story, like every match, starts at Love All. ..............

Ten years later, their once-solid marriage begins to fracture under the weight of vicious gossip, half-truths, and misplaced trust. As outsiders worm their way into their private world, Paige and Trevor are forced to confront what's real, what's been lost, and where their loyalties truly lie.

Theodore Bancroft is intelligent, despite what some may think, but he has never had the respectability that an investor needs. He needs a wife to bolster his rakish image. A perfect wife.

Not only does it get her out of her impending engagement to the odious Lord Greeling, but it also wins her the only thing she has never known: freedom.
