Laura Jude has always known that life in a billionaire’s mansion is far from perfect. At twenty seven, she has carved out her independence as a successful journalist, determined to build a name beyond her father’s powerful shadow. Marriage is the last thing on her mind, yet her parents think otherwise. Her mother longs to see her married into an influential family, while her father is willing to go as far as threatening her career if she refuses his plans. Torn between the life she has created for herself and the duty her parents impose on her, Laura finds herself cornered. Then she crosses paths with Felix Jimmy, a young man whose world mirrors her own. Felix also comes from wealth, though not on the scale of Laura’s family, and he too is being suffocated by expectations. Desperate to protect their freedom, the two strike a deal: to pretend to be in love and deceive their families. What begins as a convenient ruse soon spirals into something neither of them expected. Their fake romance ignites sparks of real passion, and every stolen glance and rehearsed embrace draws them closer to a truth they cannot deny. But as society watches and their families scheme, Laura and Felix must decide whether to end the charade before it goes too far or surrender to a love that was never supposed to exist.
