Chapter 1

My cousin, Sophia, is obsessed with testing my boyfriends.

No matter how many times I say no, she never stops.

Once she hooks them, she dumps them, then posts in our family group chat to tell everyone my guy is trash.

But this time, she has no idea she’s walking straight into a trap I designed just for her.

She has to walk in. There's no other way.

Sophia has been divorced for three years. She lives off a massive alimony check from her ex-husband, playing around with a new guy every week.

Male models today, young studs tomorrow.

But recently, she set her sights on a new target—the guy I’ve been dating for six months, Tristan Thorne.

I wasn't surprised she found out about him so quickly. Last week, my mom stopped by my apartment to pick up some things and bumped right into him.

My mom, Eleanor, has a major disease: she’s utterly green-eyed. Her sister—my Aunt Sarah—constantly brags about how Sophia married rich and still has endless cash after her divorce.

Naturally, my mom’s life goal is for me to marry someone even richer than Sophia’s ex-husband. The fact that I had been single for so long was practically giving her a heart attack.

Tristan and I met at a bar. He caught my eye in the crowd, and it took me six months of chasing to finally make him mine.

He is younger, hotter, and significantly wealthier than Sophia’s ex-husband. He was exactly what my mother had been praying for.

She immediately posted on our family group chat on Snapchat: "My daughter is getting married soon!"

I rolled my eyes and replied with a shrugging emoji: "It’s not that serious, guys. Don’t worry about it."

My mom instantly fired back with a photo of him: "Look at his face, look at that designer watch. You’re telling me you’re not serious?"

Sophia immediately chimed in: "Wow, Chloe, where did you find such a catch? Want me to test him out for you?"

I didn't reply. But I knew that whether I liked it or not, she was going to try.

This time, though, I was ready.
