Adrian Blackwood had everything wealth, talent, and a name that carried power. What he didn't have... was the one thing he wanted most. Elena. The girl he had loved for years, the girl everyone thought was perfect for him... until betrayal shattered everything.
Then came Serena. Bold. Fearless. Unapologetically teasing. The woman forced into his life by his grandfather, under the guise of a business partnership. She was the last person Adrian wanted to marry and the only one he couldn't seem to ignore.
What was supposed to be a temporary arrangement spiraled into something far deeper, a dangerous game of hate, desire, and secrets. Because while Adrian swore he'd never love her... his heart was already betraying him.
But when the truth finally comes out that Serena was never there by accident, that his family had orchestrated everything will Adrian's love survive? Or will The Bride He Hated become the one woman he can never let go?
