Pretend Love, Real Addiction

Willa has been suffocated by the Lynch family and married off to Charles, head of the powerful Lawson household. Three cold, loveless years pass. Then Sharon appears and shatters Willa's status: she is exposed as a fake heiress. The Lawson family demands a divorce within a month. Faced with sudden freedom, Willa dares to reclaim herself — uncertain, wounded, but alive. As she steps away from a life of control, Charles watches the woman he married in a new light. His indifference fractures into unexpected longing, and the month before the divorce becomes a pressure cooker of regret, revelation and quiet yearning. Each day counts; truth, pride and desire collide as both must confront what they truly want.
