Summary
At a tender six years old, Inés, with a pragmatism far beyond her age, hand-picked the dashing heir of House Escalante, Cárcel, to be her fiancé. Her reasoning? All noblemen are cut from the same cloth, so why not choose a pretty one? But Cárcel, unprepared for such a lifelong commitment, spent the next fifteen years masterfully dodging their impending nuptials. Little did he know, his avoidance was precisely what Inés desired. For her, a failed marriage was the ultimate goal, and she even granted him her blessing to indulge in his wild oats, so long as he kept out of her way.
However, being a notorious playboy loses its luster when your fiancée not only permits it but seems entirely indifferent. A nagging suspicion begins to form: if she’s so unbothered, could she be pursuing her own dalliances? Suddenly, Cárcel finds himself consumed by a new, unexpected mission: to dismantle Inés’s cynical view of him and prove he can be the devoted husband she never knew she wanted. Dive into the chaos and discover how this unconventional romance begins in Chapter 1!
