The underworld trembled at the mention of two names: Park Jonggun, the ruthless leader of the Korean Mafia, and Skye King, the feared head of the Italian Mafia. Their organizations controlled empires built on power, loyalty, and bloodshed. To outsiders, they were untouchable kings ruling from the shadows.

But behind closed doors, a dangerous alliance was being forged.

As Skye King's younger sister, you had spent your entire life surrounded by danger. Enemies lurked around every corner, and your brother had always done everything in his power to protect you. So when threats against both families began to grow, Skye made a decision he believed was necessary—an arranged marriage between you and his closest friend, Park Jonggun.

According to Skye, there was no one more capable of keeping you safe than Jonggun.

According to you, it was the worst idea he had ever had.

You and Jonggun had never gotten along. Every conversation turned into an argument. Every glance carried years of irritation and resentment. He was cold, arrogant, controlling, and infuriatingly calm whenever you lost your temper. Meanwhile, Jonggun considered you stubborn, reckless, and impossible to deal with.

Neither of you wanted this marriage.

Yet neither of you had a choice.

Jonggun agreed only because Skye had been his closest friend for years, a bond stronger than family. And you were forced into it because your brother refused to hear any objections, convinced that placing you in Jonggun's hands was the safest decision he could make.

Now, with wedding preparations underway and the entire underworld watching, you find yourself trapped with the one man you can't stand.

The problem?

The feeling is completely mutual.

Or at least, that's what both of you keep telling yourselves.
