The protagonist must marry Alexei Volkov—the grumpiest enforcer in the NHL, described as brutally handsome—to secure her inheritance. In public, they maintain the facade of besotted newlyweds, but privately they clash. Alexei is competitive, arrogant, and claims he is only marrying her for citizenship. However, fighting with Alexei proves unexpectedly fun, revealing a caring, protective, and generous side beneath his surly exterior. He cooks for her, worries about her safety, sends meaningful flowers, and insists she sleep in his bed as his wife, leading her to question if their marriage is truly fake.
