About The Author
My Review
Florence and Hades have shared an intense, decade-long, purely physical relationship rooted in their intertwined family histories and personal traumas. Both were shaped by their late fathers, rival CEOs who groomed their children to take over their respective companies. Despite their shared history and frequent encounters during business trips and social events, their relationship remained devoid of romance or genuine emotional connection.
Things take a turn when Florence learns Hades is engaged. Furious at his casual attitude toward their arrangement, she confronts him, leading to an angry farewell encounter. Determined to move on, Florence retreats to Lake Como to process her emotions, only to discover she is pregnant with Hades’ child. On the day of his wedding, she informs him and his fiancée, which leads to an unexpected twist—Hades cancels his wedding and marries Florence instead, fulfilling a stipulation in his father’s will.
The second half of the story shifts focus to the emotional growth of both characters. As they navigate their new marriage, they begin to confront their past wounds, open up about their feelings, and develop genuine affection and understanding. Over time, Florence and Hades transform their fractured dynamic into a real partnership, finding healing and love along the way. Their journey ultimately leads to a satisfying happily ever after, despite the rocky start.
