    I recommend this book. The female protagonist has a childhood sweetheart who is her neighbor, while the male protagonist and a wealthy and beautiful woman of similar social standing have been working together to pretend to be a couple. By chance, the two meet and begin a contract marriage that starts with marriage of convenience but eventually blossoms into love. They gradually become deeply involved and find redemption in each other.
