In the Absence of Pretense
Adrianna and Gerard were never meant to be more than strategic allies-until the battles they fought together turned their connection into something real. From corporate betrayals to personal tragedies, they navigate power struggles, loss, and unexpected joy. When their marriage shifts from pretense to true devotion, they realize that love isn't about convenience-it's about choice.
And when they find themselves building a future together, including a family they never expected, they understand one thing: this was never just survival. It was always meant to be forever.
