Married to the One I Mocked
“She mocked him for being cold, distant, and absolutely not her type. Now? He's her husband. A marriage built not on love, but on legacy. One year. No strings. No feelings. Lena thought it would be simple. Stay civil, play wife, get out clean. But sharing a roof with the man she couldn't stand is proving dangerous-especially when he's hotter, smarter, and more tempting than she ever expected. He promised not to fall. She swore she never would. But when hate turns into desire, and every glance sparks fire, can they survive this marriage... without surrendering to love?”
