After transmigrating into a novel, I realized the heroine and I had the exact same name. Naturally, I thought I had transmigrated into the female lead. So I marched straight to the man who was still a broke nobody at the time, threw all caution to the wind, and pounced on him like I had plot armor protecting me. He even glared at me with red eyes and told me he hated me. I honestly thought he was just into the whole push-and-pull thing. Everything shattered when the real heroine showed up and I finally understood one thing. He actually hated me. Heartbroken, I packed my bags and got ready to disappear. The next second, he pinned me against the wall. "Where are you going? Already bored of me, sweetheart?"

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.
