“Protecting you is not just merely a job obligation for me. You are the most important person in my life.
“Oh, stop it, Sang-Yi, or else I’m gonna think you’re my actual husband!
⸻
“What about your husband?”
“What of him? Do you wanna think about him right or do you wanna think about me?”
⸻
“Tell me something real, Mr.Park. Something nobody else knows.”
Bo-gum looks at her for a long moment. I think I’m in love with you.
“I’m tired.”
As the daughter of one of the world’s most powerful politicians, you have spent your entire life under protection. Private schools, chauffeurs, security. A life where every door was opened before you could even reach it and every mistake was buried deep before the public could get ahold of it.
Then someone tries to kill your family.
Now you’re living under witness protection in a quiet brownstone neighborhood in Chicago under an entirely new identity. Gone is the hair, wardrobe, and endless staff waiting on you hand and foot that you once knew. In their place were copper curls, gardening gloves, school children, housewives, and a husband you definitely didn’t marry.
At least not for real.
Assigned to protect you is Sangyi, who supposedly has spent years watching you from a professional distance. He knows you better than anyone—and yet somehow, living together reveals a version of you he’s never met before.
The arrangement is supposed to be simple. Pretend to be married and stay hidden, which should keep you alive.
Unfortunately, nobody accounted for the town. Or more so its people.
Like Park Bo-gum, the most beloved man in the city with the picture-perfect life, beautiful wife, and two adorable twins. Everyone in town adores him. Everyone except you. And for the first time in years, Bo-gum finds himself wanting someone who sees through him.
Then there’s Woo Dohwan. He was rich, handsome, annoyingly confident, and fully aware of all three facts.
Used to being the most interesting person in every room, Dohwan is fascinated by the quirky art teacher who has absolutely no idea who he is. And when he meets you, he feels as though he’s met someone who feels like an equal—and he’s determined not to let you get away.
But tight knit communities are dangerous places.
Not because of crime, but because everyone knows everyone.
And everyone has secrets.
And somewhere among all the gossip, someone knows exactly who the new woman in town really is.
As feelings deepen and secrets begin unraveling, you find yourself caught between the life you left behind, the life you’ve pretending to live, and the life you truly want.
The only problem?
One of those choices could get your heart broken.
And another could get you killed.
