Summary
After being cut off financially by her family, twenty-three-year-old Ramya is forced to find a way to survive on her own. Between college tuition, rent, and a future that feels increasingly uncertain, she takes an unconventional job completing harmless favors for lonely clients. The work isn't glamorous, but it keeps a roof over her head—and every arrangement has always ended with a simple goodbye.
Then she meets König.
Reserved, intimidating, and impossible to read, König approaches her with an unusual proposition: pretend to be his fiancée for one month while his demanding family visits from overseas. In return, he'll pay her more money than she's ever earned before. It should be easy. Follow the rules, play the part, collect the paycheck, and walk away when it's over.
But sharing a home with a man who hides behind silence proves far more complicated than either of them expected. As the lines between pretense and reality begin to blur, Ramya discovers there's more to König than his cold exterior, and König starts to realize that the woman he hired is becoming impossible to let go.
What begins as a simple favor may become the one promise neither of them is willing to break.
