Bold and ambitious.

Esmeray Hamilton was born to be married, both theoretically and practically. When the day of her meticulously planned wedding arrives, she defies her destiny and ultimately, the man who was waiting for her at the altar, by running away right into someone else's arms.

Or rather—the hood of someone else's car.

With his dark and gloomy demeanor, Kai Graves becomes a catalyst and rescues her from the unforgiving claws of her fate. Kai saved her life once, but now she finds herself at a crossroads, forced to choose between the man who gave her desired freedom and herself.

Controlled and devoted.

Billionaire CEO Kai Graves navigates through life with unwavering authority and thoughtfully crafted decisions. That changes on the night of the accident when his decisions are no longer driven by rationality, and instead by the sudden presence of a certain eighteen-year-old girl.

Kai never planned to marry despite his father's constant pleadings. He is twenty-six and has a great life, but when marriage becomes the solution to one of his problems, he has to make a choice.

Marry Esmeray Hamilton.
