Love Blossoms Amidst Adversity

Eloise walks into this marriage with one goal: justice. James agrees to the arrangement knowing who she really is, yet he has no idea she is the figure from his whiskey-soaked memories. Their fake union turns into a sharp weapon aimed at the Scotts, and as they dig up buried truths about her father's death, the pretense starts to feel dangerously real. When performed affection sparks genuine heat, the boundary between revenge and longing begins to blur, and the bargain they struck carries terms neither fully expected.
