Ava Summers is the perfect daughter — business mogul, top of her class, future queen of spreadsheets, and the only Summers twin with functioning brain cells. She's survived nineteen years sharing a womb, a mansion, and half of her DNA with Eva Summers — the human embodiment of bad decisions who once tried to roast marshmallows on scented candles and nearly set the entire estate on fire.

So when their parents arranged one of them to marry Zeke Ford — the kingdom's most notorious heartbreaker — Ava took one for the team. She didn't flinch. She didn't panic.

She blinked once... probably because she was three glasses of margaritas deep after Eva spiked her drink and slid a suspicious contract under her nose — a contract that would transfer all of Ava's businesses and birthright to Eva if she refused to marry Zeke.

It was the first plan Eva ever pulled off successfully — and she regretted it the moment the Fords switched the grooms at the last minute.

Instead of waking up legally bound to Zeke — the charming, half-witted flirt who collects women like decorative throw pillows — Ava finds herself married to Zach Ford — the cold, brooding, emotionally constipated twin brother who hasn't smiled since the dinosaurs went extinct.

The Ford family hoped Eva's lively personality would drag Zach out of his miserable cave of grief and bad attitude after his fiancée's death.

Too bad they accidentally married him to the kingdom's most neurotic control freak instead.

Now Ava has a whole lifetime to survive a forced marriage to a man who communicates in glances, grunts, and the occasional eyebrow twitch, convince everyone she's madly in love with her new husband...

And figure out how to legally murder her sister without ruining the family name.

The plan was supposed to save the Summers' reputation.

Not burn the whole kingdom to the ground.

"With This Ring, I Loathe You—Yes, I do."

A laugh-out-loud enemies-to-lovers rom-com about one grumpy recluse, one reluctant perfectionist, and one contractual catastrophe that will either end in true love...

Or arson with tax deductions.

"Where Are They Now?" — An Exclusive with Ava and Zach Ford-Summers


By Giselle Fontaine, Senior Editor at Feathery Affairs Magazine


After months of speculation, diplomatic mayhem, and more feathered fanfare than a royal peacock parade, I finally sat down with Ava Summers and Zach Ford—the infamous duo behind the Swantopia Summit and arguably the most chaotic couple in ornamental avian diplomacy. We met in a minimalist yet lavish drawing room in their estate, where a cockatiel butler served us tea in gold-plated thimbles.


Ava leaned back confidently, dressed in a tailored suit that glimmered like swan plumage. "Fabulous, obviously. I've been balancing global negotiations with migratory owl delegates while launching my new makeup line, Plumage—inspired by swan underfeathers. Limited edition."


Zach, ever the picture of controlled exasperation, added, "I've been... hydrated."
