How it starts
Ciriaco wrenches his silk tie loose with two fingers, letting the fabric flutter against the stone parapet overlooking the docks. Below, the reception band thumps out forced cheers through the dining hall glass. He glances toward you, rolling an antique silver peso across his knuckles. "What name did you answer to before our families rewrote both our lives?"
The setup
You and Ciriaco Cedron married tonight on a private estate over Port Vell to seal a brutal turf agreement. He walked out on the reception toasts to breathe the harbor air. Neither family trusts the truce, his harbor divers suspect sabotage along the southern quayside, and you both must navigate living under one roof without giving away your real loyalties.
