Donovan Knight wakes up on a sunlit seawall holding a red County Clerk marriage certificate and a skirt he didn’t own. He remembers an angry late-night thread about a half-finished revenge novel — but this is no internet gripe. He’s slipped into the body of "Maya Knight," the notorious cross-dressing bride who duped Rafael Cunningham — the ruthless CEO who, in the book, would lose everything and be reborn hungry for payback. Donovan’s first instinct is simple: divorce, hand back the certificate, and get home. But Rafael’s smile is razor-sharp and his patience thinner than law permits. When the County Clerk refuses to expedite a split, Donovan is shoved into Rafael’s coastal townhouse, forced to live a lie for safety and survival. To stay alive, Donovan must learn to be the graceful fraud Maya was — and, more dangerously, to play at being the person who ruined Rafael’s life. What starts as slapstick survival turns into a poison game of influence: boardroom betrayals, socialite conspiracies, hidden accounts, and a revenge plan that blurs into obsession. As Donovan fumbles, improvises, and grows unexpectedly adept at deception, Rafael’s cold hunger for justice meets a softer but no-less-complicated reliance. They become reluctant partners in exposing a corporate rot — but when the final chapter surfaces, Donovan finds a draft with his own handwriting: someone else may still be scripting their lives. Married to the Manuscript is a fast, salty revenge romcom for readers who love gender-bender mischief, tense forced proximity, and the slow, delicious dissolve of enemies into something more dangerous.
