The Husband List

Being a queen bee, socialite and an emerging visual artist? Chantelle, a confident, successful artist in her late 20s, has it all. Most of all, she had the freedom to date as she pleased. Yet, despite her many flings, she finds herself feeling the pressure to settle down, especially as her friends get married and have children. At 28, she's still searching for something real, but nobody seems to take her seriously enough to be her "husband"-not until a brooding corporate lawyer returns to town.

Kyran Goldthorpe, a man who's been indifferent to her since high school, is the last person Chantelle ever expected to catch her attention. He's aloof, distant, and confident, but he's also the only man who seems unaffected by her usual charm. Despite their shared history, Kyran has always kept his distance. Not until one fateful night, when he's forced to confront the feelings he's buried for years. But Kyran's past, full of heartbreak and emotional scars, leaves him hesitant to embrace the connection they both crave.

Chantelle, determined to win him over, begins pursuing him relentlessly. But Kyran offers her a proposition: a trial relationship, a temporary connection with no strings attached. But things are never as simple as they seem. The lines between desire, control, and emotional vulnerability begin to blur, and both Chantelle and Kyran find themselves navigating uncharted waters of love, jealousy, and self-discovery. Can they make it work, or will the heartaches of their pasts keep them from finding true happiness together?
