Twos families. One brutal betrayal. And a love that wasn’t supposed to happen. Aria Bennett, the poised and brilliant daughter of the Bennett fashion empire, has grown up hearing one name spoken with venom; “Blackwood” Decades ago, the Blackwoods betrayed her family, stealing their designs, their legacy, and nearly destroying the Bennetts’ reputation. Now, Aria is determined to protect her family's pride at all costs. But fate plays a cruel trick when she finds herself at the same elite private school as Adrian Blackwood, the arrogant heir to the Blackwood throne. Rude, rich, and dangerously charming, Adrian seems to take a twisted pleasure in making her life miserable, taunting her, stalking her, and showing up wherever she goes. But behind Adrian’s obsession lies a boy haunted by pressure, secrets, and a family legacy he never asked for. And behind Aria’s hatred lies a girl who’s tired of being perfect and wants to break free. As rivalry turns to tension, and tension turns to something neither of them can resist, Aria and Adrian are forced to confront not only their families’ past, but their own hearts.

I sold myself for $2,000,000. Two years. A ring. A fake smile at galas. That was the deal. My boss, Felix Blackwood, needed a wife on paper to close a billion-dollar merger. I needed the money to disappear before my loan sharks did. So I said “I do” to the coldest, most ruthless CEO in the city. The plan was simple: Play the perfect trophy wife. Stay out of his bed. And steal enough from his vault, his art, his accounts to vanish forever when the contract ends. Easy, right? Wrong. Because on our wedding night, I made one mistake. One drunken, reckless mistake with a stranger in the east wing. Dark eyes. Cruel mouth. Hands that didn’t ask permission. I didn’t know his name. I didn’t want to. Until I saw him again at breakfast. He’s Felix’s brother. Damian Blackwood. The heir they never talk about. The devil in a tailored suit. And he remembers me. Now I’m trapped. Between a husband who thinks he owns me on paper… and a brother who thinks he owns me in secret. Felix wants control. Damian wants me. And I? I just wanted the money. But two years is a long time to fake a marriage when the lines between lies, lust, and love start to blur. And when they find out what I came here to steal… neither of them will let me go.
