The High-Society Wife in Workwear

Grease-stained grit meets gilded conspiracy in a fake engagement.

Maya loses the South Bank repair shop her mother Evelyn built when Conrad West, the billionaire father she never knew, drags her into his dynasty to replace his adopted daughter in a marriage pact with Julian Hart. She agrees to a year-long sham engagement, trading her mechanical skill for Hart resources to reclaim the garage, while Julian uses the cover to investigate the suspicious car wreck that killed his relatives. At their engagement party she spots rigged hazards and disarms them with cool precision, then later dismantles a frame-up orchestrated by her uncle Derek inside the very garage she fights to recover. As the investigation tightens, the truth behind Evelyn's fatal crash and the asset seizure surfaces, forcing Maya to survive assassination attempts and expose conspiracies nested in both families.
