Naji Ali is a former model living with Tourette syndrome, a sharp tongue, and a heart stitched together with abandonment, betrayal, and survival. She’s introverted, guarded, and quiet by choice. She's a woman who learned early that silence is safer than trust. She’s used to being stared at, misunderstood, and hiding in plain sight. But fate doesn’t ask for permission to interrupt your peaceful life; it just shows up and shifts everything.

Imanio Kors is a savage dressed in strategy. To the world, he’s an ununreadable, polished grumpy billionaire CEO, but behind the tailored suits and cold silence lies something far more dangerous.

When a twisted chain of events forces their worlds to collide, Naji and Imanio find themselves in a marriage of convenience wrapped in secrecy and guarded devotion. The more she learns about the man behind the empire, and the more he falls for the girl with the unfiltered mouth and haunted eyes, the less either of them can pretend this is just survival.

Sometimes love doesn’t come in soft landings; sometimes it starts the moment you see something you were never supposed to survive.","format",{"_19":50,"_86":109,"_110":111,"_112":47},"publisher","page_count",806,"duration","published_date","pub_date","October 1","isbn","asin","B0FTGM45JN","hex_code","#e1a645","language","English","purchase_links",[],"playlist_links",[],"cover","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/books/86i/ef9d96ba-d7ca-4f02-9005-7bcdcfebda07.jpg","thumb","https://img.blackauthored.com/?preset=poster_thumb&image=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.blackauthored.com%2Fbooks%2F86i%2Fef9d96ba-d7ca-4f02-9005-7bcdcfebda07.jpg","rating_distribution",{"_102":103,"_104":105},"tags",[83,84],{"_19":31,"_86":98,"_88":99,"_53":-5,"_51":100,"_91":101,"_93":47,"_95":47,"_96":97},{"_19":85,"_86":87,"_88":89,"_53":-5,"_51":90,"_91":92,"_93":94,"_95":47,"_96":97},34,"name","Marriage of Convenience","category","trope","marriage-of-convenience","url","/tropes/marriage-of-convenience","selectable",true,"sensitive","position",0,"Romance","genre","romance","/genres/romance","ratings",{},"recommend",{"_106":50,"_107":97,"_108":97},"yes","no","maybe","Kindle","type","digital","audio",{"_19":114,"_86":115,"_51":116,"_117":-5,"_118":-5,"_119":120,"_121":122,"_123":94},"dae6a6e9-d02f-4bf5-adca-a2e67b627935","Alecia J","14-alecia-j","biography","image","books_count",11,"roles",[124],"in_catalog","author","isLoggedIn",["P",126],"result","seo",{"_13":136,"_137":138,"_53":139,"_140":141,"_91":142,"_143":144,"_145":146},"user","themePreference","light","storedTheme","gaId","G-Z1HVZ17GZ3","Blackauthored","titleTemplate","%s","Find your next Black authored read and connect with readers with the similar taste.","handle","@blackauthored","https://blackauthored.com","robots",{"_160":47,"_161":47},"jsonLd",{"_147":148,"_149":150,"_86":136,"_151":152,"_153":154,"_91":142},"@context","https://schema.org","@type","Organization","logo","https://cdn.blackauthored.com/images/og-image.png","sameAs",[155,156,157,158,159],"https://twitter.com/blackauthored","https://facebook.com/blackauthored","https://instagram.com/blackauthored","https://youtube.com/blackauthored","https://tiktok.com/@blackauthored","noIndex","noFollow"]
