Aurelia's reckless kiss on her father's best friend leads to a fake marriage neither can escape.
Aurelia Kingston risks the reputation she has meticulously guarded when a single impulsive kiss with her father's decades-long companion shatters every boundary. To contain the fallout, they strike a bargain: a counterfeit marriage that traps them under one roof, demanding a daily performance of affection for prying eyes. The arrangement is meant to silence gossip, yet proximity only deepens the pull they are forbidden to acknowledge. Every shared meal and hallway encounter becomes a negotiation between the roles they must play and the feelings they cannot name, leaving Aurelia's carefully built stability hanging by a thread.
