« Is it not enough that I have been 'sold off' as a catalogue bride but also have to compete with a dead woman for favour? »

Shelby looks like she has it all. The perfect family and all the perks that come with it. But she must go through a 'forced contract marriage' and also compete for the attention of the man she had been unwillingly tied to...

Ian lost the love of his life so suddenly that his mind still refuses to accept that reality. He gave up everything and secluded himself until his mother found him a bride. His one task was to give the family an heir but how can Ian do this when the air he breathes all revolves around the one woman he can never have. However, he finds himself in a predicament and dilema when the new contracted bride is thrust into his life unwittingly... especially, when he finds out that she is more than meets the eye.

"YES! YOU DO!" the children shouted.

Shelby went on her knees and hugged a couple of them.

"I am so proud that you stayed good!"

Shelby stayed in that position and patiently answered all the eager questions from the small voices thrown at her, her smile never faltering.

Suzie and Ruby watched on in the back.

"Miss is really good with them!" Suzie sighed while Ruby nodded.

"She has always been the best with them,"
