What happens when a marriage of convenience stops being convenient?
Lillian Tariq has a rule: if her mother wants her to do something, she’ll do the opposite. That’s how she ended up a thirty-two-year-old OB-GYN who ruins blind dates for sport. But after years of living in a house where she’s more tolerated than loved, Lillian is finally ready to give her mother what she always wanted: a husband.
Enter Khalifa Nasser, a history professor so emotionally unavailable he probably grades feelings on a curve. He has no interest in love either, but with a dying mother desperate to see him married, he’s looking for a bride in name only. When he proposes a solution that benefits them both, Lillian says yes, mostly out of spite.
The deal is simple: one arranged marriage, zero feelings, no problem.
Except between sarcastic bickering, late-night confessions, and the slow unraveling of carefully built walls, Lillian starts to realize there’s nothing simple about falling for a man who swore he could never love her.
