Mad Minute Tacticians

Sophia Laurent is the secret heiress to one of the world’s wealthiest families, living a life of isolation and control under her father’s oppressive reign. Tired of being a pawn in her family's power games, Sophia escapes into the real world, adopting a fake identity to experience life as a normal woman. But her attempt at freedom takes an unexpected turn when she’s mistaken for a gold-digger during a blind date with Alexander "Xander" Hayes, a wealthy and cynical businessman. He believes she’s after his money, and his vulgar, dismissive attitude makes her want to walk away—fast. However, fate has other plans. Xander’s grandmother, Evelyn, insists that he marry immediately to secure his family’s future. When she meets Sophia and is impressed by her loving nature and warmth, she pushes for the two to wed, believing Sophia is the ideal match. Xander, still convinced that Sophia is only interested in his wealth, reluctantly agrees to the arrangement, thinking she’s just another opportunist. But Sophia has her own reasons for accepting the marriage: she wants nothing more than to escape her family’s suffocating grasp and live life on her own terms. As they navigate their arranged union, misunderstandings, emotional barriers, and hidden secrets threaten to tear them apart. In a story filled with sparks, secrets, and unexpected twists, will love triumph over wealth, or will the past prove too strong to overcome?
