"How can I marry a man I do not know?"

"Your father is the one who decides what can happen."

"Why do I have to marry him?"

"Your father wants to do business with him, and it is so much that it would take us from top twenty to top ten."

Nirelle’s fate is sealed. After a life of endless scrubbing, suffering, and silence, her father decides her worth lies in securing a business deal. A deal so massive, it promises to thrust their family into elite status—at the cost of her freedom.

Married off to a man cloaked in more secrets than the night sky, Nirelle wants to run. But there's nowhere to go. With every ounce of strength she has left, she chooses to shift prisons—from her father’s oppressive home to her new husband’s mansion.

Lucien Vexley is nothing like she expected. The name alone strikes fear on the streets, the rumours painting him as a shadowy, ruthless enigma. Yet the man sitting across from her at the dining table, caring for her in ways she’s never known, is nothing like the beast they described.

Lucien is a mystery she can’t seem to solve, and worse, he is her father's enemy.

A FAKE MARRIAGE, A REAL OBSESSION.
Zara Crawford has everything—beauty, money, power and a marriage contract she wants nothing to do with.
Branded a spoilt heiress and famous for “accidentally” ruining every blind date her parents push at her, the world thinks she’s throwing another tantrum when she refuses her next groom – Aiden Knight.
No one knows that; Zara’s seen what loveless marriages can do. She refuses to be traded, especially to the mysterious billionaire heir she believes once mocked her family.
So one night in rebellion against her parents, she runs to a bar, to a stranger and a reckless night that ends with a marriage contract.
A simple contract – two years, a loving couple on paper and strangers in private.
But the bartender she chooses isn’t a bartender—he’s Aiden.
The man she hated and refused to be traded to. The man who had fallen for her at the very first sight.
Aiden plays along when she mistakes him for a bartender and slips into her world because he wants her to fall for him—not his money. Not his name. Just the man she thinks he is.
Lust can bring them together, but will the truth tear them apart?
