Married to the Plug

Mariah has spent most of her life surviving in silence. Calm, quiet, and guarded, she's learned that trusting people-especially her parents-only leads to disappointment. So when they slide a marriage contract across the table, claiming it's for her own good, Mariah already knows better than to believe them.

Romelo, on the other hand, isn't worried. He's disciplined when it matters, playful when it doesn't, and fully aware of the weight his last name carries. His parents think marriage will push him to take the family business more seriously, and if signing a contract keeps them off his back, he's willing to do it-no questions asked.

Bound by a contract neither of them truly chose, Mariah and Romelo must navigate old memories, unspoken pain, and a dangerous world where love is the last thing either of them planned for. Because in a marriage built on obligation, the real risk isn't the streets-it's falling for the one person you never expected to belong to.
