Jackson Mistole is the city's most successful-and most elusive-Black entrepreneur. With power, wealth, and influence, he's got everything... except safety. After receiving a string of dangerous threats, Jackson's protective younger brother decides it's time to bring in help. Not just any help-CLEVER's finest: Zelda.

Zelda is no ordinary bodyguard. Trained, precise, and always five steps ahead, she specializes in blending into high society without anyone suspecting a thing. Her mission? Protect Jackson Mistole and his teenage daughter, Melanie, at all costs.

To make her presence seamless, the Mistole brothers come up with a bold plan: Zelda will pose as Jackson's blind date. One "accidental" meeting turns into a fake relationship... but only to the public. Behind closed doors, she's his guardian. Only the three of them know the truth.

But faking love has consequences.

What starts as a clever cover story slowly morphs into something real. And as months turn into years, the lines between duty and desire blur. From fake girlfriend to fiancé, to wife-Zelda finds herself falling for the man she swore to protect. Now, with enemies still watching and secrets mounting, can she keep Jackson safe without losing herself in the process?

💍 Love was never part of the job... but it just might be the most dangerous mission of all.

When Prince Timothy finds out that he isn't who he has always thought he was, he comes to the realization that not only was his life in danger but so was his mother's life thanks to the laws of Lyvera against bastards. With his uncle and aunt gunning for the throne and his life, Timothy has no choice but to get married before his Coronation which is in two moons, in order to secure his fragile claim to the throne and keep his mother safe. Facing challenges to his legitimacy and pressure to marry before his coronation, particularly due to lacking Grey magic when his lineage is expected to have both Green and Grey magic, Timothy finds an unlikely ally in Princess Zelda Faroe. A formidable mage he has a complicated history with. A girl he hates due to her bullying him in the Academy for four years. All her life Zelda Faroe has always gotten whatever she wanted with relative ease and has always been the most powerful Grey Mage in the Lyverian Empire, until she meets Timothy at the Academy. With her desire to be close to the Prince, who was supposed to be as powerful as her in magic, morphing into anger at him not being as powerful as she thought, she decides to train him for the next four years. At least that's what she thinks she is doing until seven years later when the Emperor dies and Timothy is in need of a bride. With her past actions haunting her, and her desire to change how he sees her prevalent in her mind, she decides to risk her life and her kingdom to help Timothy become Emperor.
