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.

Aliya's Shoes

She ran through overgrown foliage that was as tall as a 6-foot man. With her 5ft4 stature, she was completely swallowed by it … but so were the people or things chasing her.

If she could even call them that. Her heart pounded violently against her ribs, her breath coming in short, desperate gasps. She wanted to scream, but she had no voice left. She had exhausted it all in the few short minutes following this strange encounter.

Fear coiled around her chest like a vice, squeezing tighter with every panicked step she took. She didn't know what was worse ….. the terror of being hunted or the paralyzing horror of not knowing where she was or why she was being chased.

A cold, sickening dread gnawed at the edges of her mind, whispering that she might never find out. That she might never escape.

Why is he never there in times like these?
