The final ingredient to finding true love is one teaspoon of lies.
                  **** 
On her 18th birthday, Elspeth's world was shattered after a one-night stand left her pregnant. The child's father, Alan, betrayed her by revealing his alliance with her scheming half-sister, Heather, who aimed to steal Elspeth's position as heiress. To protect their family’s reputation, her parents sent her away in disgrace.

Years later, Elspeth returns, determined to reclaim her place and exact revenge on those who wronged her. But her family’s pressure to marry complicates things. Desperate to dodge a blind date, she impulsively kisses Castiel Stepanov, her daughter's teacher, using him as a convenient escape. When a key investor insists on meeting her husband, Elspeth sees an opportunity and proposes a fake marriage to Castiel.

Castiel, a powerful Russian business mogul and part-time elementary teacher, has his own hidden agenda. Traumatized by witnessing the murder of his family, Castiel’s life has been driven by the desire for revenge. Unbeknownst to Elspeth, her father is responsible for the tragedy that destroyed his family. Eager to destroy Elspeth's life, Castiel agrees to the sham marriage, intent on ruining her and her father.

As their fake marriage progresses, hidden truths and deep-seated wounds begin to surface. Can Elspeth balance her desire for vengeance with her need to protect her heart, her daughter, and her empire? And will Castiel follow through with his plan for revenge, or will love and the weight of the past consume them both?

༺═──────────────═༻

It's been about an hour since I returned from work, and I decide to finish my skin and hair care routine before bed and properly unbox the gifts Castiel got me.

A smile creeps across my face as I recall the events from the party this afternoon and how everyone kept chatting about it long after Castiel left. I'm genuinely grateful for my employees; we're building a wonderful work family, and I'm all in. Then there's my new assistant, Gwen.

Castiel still hasn't shared how they met, and I won't pry too much; they seemed really into each other. I wouldn't be shocked if they were ex-lovers or something.
