This novel excerpt unfolds in Ylosea, a city where Callie Marsh, a junior designer at Oconnor Group, finds herself entangled in an unexpected and complex situation. After a disastrous blind date arranged by her mother, Callie encounters Nelson Oconnor, the young and powerful CEO of the very company she works for, under unusual circumstances. Initially, Callie watches as Nelson coldly dismisses his own blind date, only to be surprised when he approaches her shortly after.
In a surprising turn of events, Nelson proposes a fake marriage to Callie to fulfill his ailing grandfather's wish to see him settled down. Compelled by Nelson's offer to cover her father’s medical expenses—a man who has been in a vegetative state following a car accident—Callie agrees to the arrangement. The two proceed to get married hastily, setting the stage for a series of interactions that blur the lines between their professional and personal lives.
As Callie adjusts to her new role as Mrs. Oconnor, including moving into Nelson’s luxurious villa and meeting his grandfather, she faces challenges both at home and work. Her relationship with Nelson is strictly transactional, yet there are moments that hint at a deeper connection forming. Meanwhile, Callie must also navigate the complexities of her family dynamics, particularly with her manipulative mother and indifferent brother, as well as the hostile environment at her workplace, where rumors and gossip about her marriage to Nelson begin to spread.
The narrative explores themes of power, duty, and the complexities of human relationships, all while keeping the reader engaged with its fast-paced plot and the evolving dynamic between Callie and Nelson.
