I Do

As of 2026, this book has been rewritten and this is the 3rd edition.

Taina Toussaint lives by one simple rule: if it causes stress or bores her, she leaves. Jobs, relationships, responsibilities - it doesn't matter. Living with her best friend in New York, Taina drifts through life chasing peace, fun, and the dream of one day moving to a beautiful island where she can relax by the ocean and never work again because she simply does not dream of labor. Her friends hate that . Her mother calls her lazy. Her exes call her heartless . Taina calls it protecting her peace.

So the last thing she expects is for the only job she's managed to keep for over a year to somehow end with her marrying a millionaire.


Aleksandr Sokolov is everything Taina isn't: strict, disciplined, and painfully routine-driven. After a devastating betrayal from his first love, he keeps everyone at a distance. Living with face-blindness has only made trusting people harder, and somewhere along the way, Aleksandr forgot what "fun" even feels like.

Taina is chaotic, impulsive, and exactly the type of person he should avoid. Yet for the first time in years, Aleksandr finds himself wanting someone close instead of pushing them away. No matter how irrational it feels, he's determined not to let her leave his side.

Even if that somehow leads to him proposing after barely knowing her.

Guess Taina's spontaneity rubbed off on him faster than he expected.
