A Calculated Love Story

no freenbeck // this is a SWANQUEEN SHIP

A calculated mayor, Regina Mills, is on the verge of losing her inheritance, a legacy tied to a clause she despises: marriage for love. Desperate, she hires Emma Swan, a cynical, broke army veteran living out of her car, to be her fake wife.

What starts as a cold, transactional contract soon spirals into a chaotic, hilarious, and emotionally charged cohabitation. Their opposing personalities clash in a constant battle of wits and wills, filled with sarcastic banter, secret moments of vulnerability, and an unacknowledged sexual tension that neither can ignore.

But when a new contract extends their marriage to a full year, forcing them to confront their feelings and their past, the line between performance and reality begins to blur. Regina's icy control shatters, Emma's guarded heart starts to thaw, and they are forced to decide if the love they've been faking for a year might, in fact, be real.
