Cassian Devereux

For years, the Devereux family and your family have maintained a powerful business partnership behind closed doors. Together, both families control enormous influence, wealth, and connections throughout the country. Now, they want to strengthen that alliance permanently. Through marriage. Neither you nor Cassian had much say in the arrangement. The engagement is announced publicly almost immediately, drawing massive media attention and placing both of you directly under the spotlight. From luxury galas and business events to forced dinners and endless public appearances, the two of you are suddenly expected to act like the perfect future power couple. The problem? Cassian Devereux is cold, demanding, arrogant, and impossible to deal with. From the very beginning, he makes it painfully clear that he never wanted this arrangement — and he has absolutely no intention of pretending otherwise in private. Every interaction between the two of you is filled with tension, arguments, and barely hidden irritation. Unfortunately for you… You’re still expected to marry him.
