Our Lovey-Dovey Marriage of Convenience

Leila, the daughter of a bankrupt count, finds her future hanging by a thread. Her father’s crushing debt to the formidable businessman Maximilian Volkov comes with a merciless clause: a single missed payment will force Leila into marriage as collateral. With the deadline looming and her family’s coffers empty, hope seems all but lost—until Colonel Silvester, a wealthy officer and her childhood first love, appears with an unexpected proposal. But his offer is no fairy-tale rescue; he makes it painfully clear that their union will be one of convenience, devoid of romance or physical intimacy. Though Leila had always dreamed of a love match, she accepts, resigned to a marriage she believes will end in swift divorce. Yet three years pass, and the arrangement remains frozen in cold formality. Just as Leila braces for the inevitable dissolution of their vows, a violent attack leaves Silvester with no memory of their life together. In a bewildering twist, the once-distant colonel awakens as a devoted husband, treating her with a warmth and tenderness she never dared to expect. His sudden affection rewrites the rules of their relationship, transforming a calculated bargain into something achingly genuine. What was once a union on the verge of collapse now blossoms into a loving partnership—all because of a single, fateful incident that erases the past and reshapes their future.
