What good could come out of a loveless marriage birthed from a bitter feud?

Amelia Hudgens' dream of a marital bliss filled with love was shattered when she was married off to Daniel Theodore as a pawn for an ancient vendetta. Her husband, Daniel, was a cruel and abusive man who tormented her with his mistress and his fists. He shattered her dreams of happiness and freedom, leaving her broken and hopeless.

Hope bloomed, fragile as a butterfly's wing, when she discovered life stirring within her, but fate had other plans. A tragic accident took away her unborn baby, leaving her shattered and alone. Daniel blamed her for everything, even in the hospital where she was recovering. He showed no mercy, only malice.

Amelia wanted to end her misery, to jump from a bridge and drown in the sea. But as she was about to take the final plunge, she crossed paths with Cullen, a mysterious man who saved her from the brink of death. He was kind and gentle, a soothing balm for her wounded soul. He offered her a chance to start over, to heal from her past.

But could Amelia trust him? Could she rebuild her life and find happiness again? Could she stand up against Daniel, who would stop at nothing to get her back? Was Cullen's help all genuine?

Contract Marriage: From Vows To Vengeance

Cullen pulled Amelia close to him and kissed the top of her head the moment she walked through the doors.

Amelia's shoulders slumped and she fell into his arms. A light hiccup left her lips at the feeling of his hold.

Cullen picked her from the floor. He carried her in a bridal style and walked towards the couch. Sitting on one of them, he parted her bangs from her scar and dropped a kiss there.

Amelia coiled further into his arms. She wanted to hide from everyone and the world except him. His icy masculine scent wafted through her nostrils and was a big help for her.

"Bad day?" His deep velvet voice asked after a brief moment of comfortable silence between them.

Amelia shook her head softly. Daniel doesn't have the power to make her day good or bad. She only wanted to be with Cullen again and that's all.

Cullen's thumb caressed her cheek fondly. "You don't want to talk about it?" he asked lightly.
