To the world, Farida Bintu Ardo is a bitter, emotionless disruptor who finds peace in chaos.

He is everything she didn't see coming. When their forced union becomes the very reason the fragile life Farida fought so hard to protect begins to unravel, her desperate defenses turn against her.

One prank. One lie. One billionaire's reputation, humiliated on live television. Noor Magaji never meant for it to go this far. A little payback, a little scandal, a fake pregnancy accusation thrown at the most arrogant man she's ever met - Adil Bayero, CEO, billionaire, and now, apparently, her fiancé. Because when the internet won't stop talking and both families panic, there's only one way to kill the story: pretend the scandal was actually a love story all along. A temporary engagement. A few months of playing pretend. Simple. Except Adil doesn't play by anyone's rules but his own - and every time Noor thinks she's finally figured him out, he proves her wrong. What starts as war becomes something neither of them saw coming, until the lines between revenge and real feeling blur completely. She started the fire. Now she has to survive the heat.
