Two powerful families. One unwanted marriage.
Bound by a deal they never agreed to, forced into roles they never auditioned for - with zero emotional preparation.
In a world where feelings are liabilities and trust is a luxury, Leo Calder only looked away for a second... and ended up with a husband.
Kai Mercer is everything the headlines say he is: a cold, calculated CEO, unreadable behind a perfect suit.
One hides behind silence and shadows. The other is wild, untamed, and refuses to be controlled.
Between arguments, pretenses, and carefully curated lies, something genuine begins to take shape.
The question is... how long can they keep pretending it doesn't matter?
