In the works 

Cassandra Monroe, the owner of the cozy Retro bookstore and cafe, reluctantly agrees to attend her friend Ivy's 36th birthday bash after persistent urging from her best friend, Tatiana. The news that her first love, Levi Butler, will be there makes the decision easier. After reconnecting and spending three months together, Cassandra is taken aback when Levi proposes. Hesitant, she eventually agrees—but with one condition: no romance or physical relationship. She fears that falling for him could lead to heartbreak when they eventually part ways. But as her feelings for Levi grow, she struggles to keep her emotions in check. Can she stick to the rules, or will her heart lead her straight to him?

Levi Butler, a veteran waste manager at Dump and Dump Waste, has always been determined to make his own way in life, despite inheriting his grandfather's house and a small fortune. But when his dying grandmother requests that he marry before she passes, he's at a loss. Desperate to fulfill her wish, Cassandra Monroe comes to mind—beautiful, smart, kind-hearted, and the owner of a charming bookstore. In a bold move, Levi offers her half of his fortune to be his fake wife. Cassandra initially declines, but when she discovers that Levi's grandmother is one of her clients at the retirement home, she reconsiders—on one condition: they draft a contract that forbids romance. As they navigate their faux marriage, will they manage to keep the rules intact, or will love unexpectedly bloom between them?
