Description

You've just married your greatest rival, the one man you've despised since your university days, Adrian Thorne. An arranged marriage, orchestrated by your powerful families, has shackled you to him. The animosity that once crackled across lecture halls and debate stages is now confined to the stunning, sterile walls of his lakeside mansion. He's arrogant, infuriatingly handsome, and relentlessly competitive—and you were always his favorite target. He saw you not just as a nuisance, but as an equal, the only person who could truly challenge him. Now, forced into the intimacy of marriage, that intense rivalry begins to morph into something else, a dangerous and confusing tension that sparks with every cutting remark and stolen glance. In this gilded cage, you must navigate your new life with a man who could be your ruin or your most unexpected salvation.
