Two lifelong best friends, Ava and Kai, grew up in a tight-knit small town. Everyone always assumed they'd marry, Except them. Their friendship was sacred, messy, loud, and deeply platonic... until Ava's father dies mysteriously, leaving behind a will that forces her to marry Kai within a month to inherit the family estate, or it gets sold to a faceless corporation.
Kai reluctantly agrees, not because he wants her money, but because he suspects her father's death wasn't an accident... and marrying her will give him legal access to investigate a dangerous truth.
Ava has no idea that Kai has been working undercover for a shadowy federal division and that the "corporation" trying to buy her home is actually a front for a human trafficking ring her father had been fighting against.
Marriage turns their friendship into a warzone. They fight over toothpaste, sleeping arrangements, and Kai's overprotective behavior... until an assassination attempt at their fake honeymoon reveals that Ava is the next target.
Now, they're running for their lives while pretending to be madly in love, sharing hotel rooms, stealing clothes from strangers' laundry lines, and dodging bullets. The danger pushes them into moments they can't explain.

Falling for the Last Person I'd Ever Love... And Yet
What if a cat and a dog tolerate each other? Not in peace--obviously--but in wildly dysfunctional harmony. That's Seraphina and Kai-she strikes first with chaos and claws, he retaliates with passive-aggressive sarcasm and emotional warfare. It's not a romance. It's a tactical battlefield with feelings. For as long as they can remember, Seraphina Voss and Kai Sterling have been locked in elite-level rivalry. Not the flirty kind. No---this is cold-war chaos between two rich kids raised like family (ew), trapped in the same social circles (double ew), and trained in the fine art of mutual sabotage. But when one dramatic arrest pushes their families over the edge, they're given the worst punishment imaginable: working together. In the same office. With real jobs. Corporate hell---but make it personal. To make matters worse, they've both caught feelings for other people. Desperate to escape each other and this soul-sucking job, they strike a deal: Seraphina helps Kai win his "perfect" girl. Kai plays wingman for Seraphina's dream guy. Clean. Simple. Foolproof. Until it all starts falling apart, thanks to office warfare, many "accidental" double dates, and emotionally violent wars in silence. Because somewhere between strategic humiliation and whatever emotionally compromising event just went down, they might be falling for the one person they hate the most. And it's not about who falls first. It's how they fall. ⚠️ Contains verbal combat, morally questionable pranks, dangerously slow-burning tension, and at least one chair thrown in the name of love. © Hazel Brown. All rights reserved.

Ava tried to comfort her. "Hey, don't cry. My husband's even hotter than your brother. I'm not losing here!" Her friend wiped her tears, panicking. "Hot? Who cares about hot?!
