A Bargain for love

When Amelia decides to marry a wealthy Greek magnate to keep her three daughters safe from her mischievous ex-husband, she never imagines she'll end up in a mansion so big it practically has its own zip code-and no dog to fill all that space. Her oldest daughter, Laurène, would rather do literally anything else than live among golden statues and marble floors, especially when the heir to this empire, Alexis Kyriazis, treats her like she's an uninvited guest at his private museum. (Seriously, who knew someone could be that rich and that grumpy at the same time?)

Meanwhile, middle daughter Sofia is already plotting her next rebellious stunt-she's got a list and zero shame about checking it off-while nine-year-old Adele keeps everyone on their toes by turning each room into her personal playground. Then there's Isis, Alexis's sunshine-y sister, who greets the newcomers with a hug and a squeal, like it's a slumber party instead of an arranged protection plan.
Between eye-roll battles, sarcastic banter, and more marble statues than anyone asked for, Laurène and Alexis find themselves locked in a slow-burn war of words-one that might just heat up into something else. Throw in the looming threat of Raphaël (the ex-husband determined to cause chaos), and you've got a household that's equal parts comedic mayhem and romantic tension. Because if there's one thing more complicated than outrunning a shady ex, it's figuring out how to share a roof (and maybe a heart) with a brand-new family.
