Lena Cole showed up eleven minutes late to a blind date with a boring accountant named Peter and left legally married to Caiden Black, the most powerful and feared billionaire in the city. She went through the wrong door. She signed the wrong papers. By the time she figured it out, the documents were already filed and Caiden Black had already decided the mistake was more convenient than undoing it. Caiden Black doesn't make decisions without a reason. He agreed to a blind date only because his grandmother — seventy-eight years old, heart condition, running out of time — asked him to. He didn't agree to marry a stranger who confused his private dining room for someone else's. But the papers are legal, his grandmother is happy for the first time in years, and an accidental wife turns out to solve several problems he'd been dealing with for longer than he'd admit. Their arrangement is simple. Keep up appearances. Attend family events. Don't ask too many questions. In exchange, Lena gets stability she's spent three years working double shifts trying to build on her own, and Caiden gets everyone around him to finally stop circling like they're waiting for him to fail. Simple. Temporary. Completely under control. Except Caiden didn't plan for a wife who keeps her two jobs out of pure stubbornness. He didn't plan for someone who eats his chef's leftovers standing at the sink at ten in the morning like she owns the place. And he definitely didn't plan to notice. Wrong door. Wrong man. Wrong feelings entirely.
