Why these tropes fit
Reclusive, scarred billionaire Vuk Markovic serves as best man at his oldest friend’s upcoming wedding to supermodel Ayana Kidane, whose high-profile engagement is actually a marriage of convenience: she will receive the money she needs to escape her abusive modeling agency, while her fiancé will claim his inheritance upon their marriage. As the wedding date approaches, Ayana finds herself unexpectedly drawn to the enigmatic, intimidating Vuk, while Vuk struggles between his loyalty to his oldest friend and his long-held obsession with Ayana. When wedding chaos throws the pair into forced proximity, Ayana turns to Vuk for comfort, and they give in to their growing slow-burn attraction, only for Vuk’s dangerous past to resurface and threaten the future they are beginning to build together.
