How To Annoy Your Fiancé (And Still Look Fabulous)

Their engagement was arranged before either of them understood the word commitment—a deal between the powerful Astoré and D’Arden families that Marisse Astoré never wanted. Especially not with Lucan D’Arden: thirty-something, emotionally frozen, and built like a marble statue carved by someone who hates fun.

On her twentieth birthday, her parents drop the ultimate rich-people surprise: she’s off to Halberd City for university… and moving into her fiancé’s house.

Lucan expects a quiet, forgettable girl. Instead, he gets Marisse—sarcastic, chaotic, and calling him “old man” before he’s had coffee. His perfectly controlled life starts to crack.

Then she discovers his forbidden affair. She doesn’t cry—she smirks. Betrayal makes excellent leverage.

Their respectable engagement becomes a romantic psychological warzone. He wants control. She wants revenge.

And someone’s going to lose their cool.
It definitely won’t be her.
