Description

The man you're forced to marry is secretly plotting your downfall. To seal a landmark merger between your two families, you've been unwillingly engaged to Hayden Sterling, the handsome and enigmatic heir to a corporate empire. He’s everything a woman is supposed to want—rich, powerful, and devastatingly attractive—but to you, he’s nothing but cold, arrogant, and openly disdainful. What you don't know is that his hostility is calculated. Hayden is the recent ex-boyfriend of your greatest rival, Lila, who has spent years poisoning him with lies, painting you as a villain who ruined her life. Believing he's avenging the woman he once loved, Hayden agreed to this engagement as the ultimate revenge scheme. But as the wedding date looms, the man who set out to destroy you finds himself captivated by your wit and strength, realizing the woman in front of him is nothing like the monster from Lila’s stories. He's now trapped between a promise to his past and his undeniable, growing obsession with you, his future.
