Camille Laverienzo was the kind of woman people feared before they even knew her name. Tall. Beautiful. Sharp-eyed. Wrapped in an aura so dark and commanding that even the softest rustle in her classroom dared not exist. Students whispered about her in hallways, The terror professor. The untouchable woman with a stare sharp enough to cut through excuses. Colleagues respected her. Men admired her from a distance. Women envied her confidence. But no one, absolutely no one, dared interrupt her. Not when she walked. Not when she spoke. Not when she taught. Camille had built walls higher than her heels and stronger than her pride. She lived inside them, cold, unreachable, unbothered, until the day someone walked straight into her life without hesitation, without fear, and without asking permission. A stranger whose presence would one day haunt her, save her, and change everything she thought she knew about herself. And it all began in the year when everything went wrong... and somehow, right.

She has one year to find a husband or lose everything. If marrying my best friend is the only way to save her, then I'm about to break every rule of our friendship to keep her. Amélie Dubois is a saint in designer clothes. She's the woman who runs a multinational medical foundation, the girl who treats her staff like family, and the only person who can make me forget I'm the captain of a professional football team. She's also the woman currently being sold off. Her parents have given her an ultimatum: marry a suitable candidate by her thirtieth birthday, or they'll pick one for her. For ten years, I've been her anchor. I've been the one she calls at 3:00 AM, the one who cleans up her messes, and the one who knows the tomboy hiding underneath her silk gowns. I've played the role of the "best friend" perfectly, mostly because the alternative-admitting that I'm obsessed with her-would blow up both of our lives. But watching her forced into a cage by her own family? That's not a line I'm willing to respect anymore. She thinks she's looking for a way out of her parents' plans. I'm just trying to figure out how to tell her that the "suitable candidate" she needs has been standing right in her corner the entire time. Ten years of friendship. One year to ruin it all. And a lifetime of secrets that are about to come to a head.
