Derin, a young aspiring poet, embittered by the loss of her parents, and separated from her sister, is obliged to take up a marriage proposal by her aunt. Without a choice, she accepts and marries the playboy-slash-business mogul, Daniel L.C. Hartley. In the twinkle of an eye, her life is changed as she deals with his attitude, frenemies, and untold secrets. With all these problems pulling at her, will she eventually find the one whom her heart beats for?
Daniel, the most talked about playboy of the season, has to take a bride by his parents to curb his delinquency, much against his wish. Accepting this, he plans to frustrate Derin and force her to call it quits. However, when his heart rules him otherwise, will he learn to accept his feelings or quiver under the weight of his responsibilities and a mystical mission, all in three hundred and sixty-six days?
"I have spent my life being nobody's first choice," she whispered.

She's a young woman fighting for a new beginning. London is her escape plan, her clean slate, her chance to outrun a past that never learned to let go.

Then he sees her. One moment. One look.
And the man who doesn't believe in love falls with catastrophic velocity.

He was never supposed to feel.
Yet here they are, locked in an unexpected merger of fate by a marriage of convenience and chaos.
When the woman who's only ever been second choice becomes the one he can't look away from...
When the man who built walls now risks dismantling them for her...
Is this a temporary alignment of circumstances, or destiny executing a long-term strategy?
A story about breaking patterns, reclaiming worth, and discovering that sometimes the heart rewrites the entire plans.
