A cellist who gave up music. An heir who gave up love. Their deal is simple… except love has a way of stealing the spotlight.
Lovey Hahn gave up her dream of becoming a professional cellist the day her mother died. She traded concert halls for the gilded walls of Alderton-Du Ponte, the state’s most elite country club, and she’s saving every penny to buy her late mother’s dream house, hoping it will fill the void music once did.

The problem? It’s been five years, the dream house is still out of reach, and she’s stuck living a life she resents.
Enter Aaron Astor—the charming, sharp-tongued heir to the country’s biggest travel empire—who waltzes back into town with a devastating smile, an infuriating knack for getting under her skin, and “looking for love.” But Lovey uncovers the truth: Aaron’s been cut off from his fortune and is only hunting for a wealthy wife to secure his inheritance.
Instead of exposing him, Lovey makes a deal: she’ll keep his secret if he buys her mother’s dream house before it goes up for auction.
Their arrangement should be simple, but the more Aaron gets under her skin, the more he gets into her heart. As he reignites her long-buried passion for music, Lovey starts to wonder if she’s fighting for the wrong future—and if she’s not the only one living a life she resents.

Torn between chasing her mother’s dream and finding her own, Lovey must decide if risking everything is worth the chance to compose a life she loves—or if some dreams are meant to stay unfinished, and she’s better off leaving other princesses to kiss the frogs.
