Arranged Marriage

So this is the sister of the woman who tore his father away from the family? She looked far too young—and far too alive. As if the slightest touch would make her spark like a fountain. The stranger met Alex’s gaze. For a second, he could’ve sworn her eyes shifted color—clear amber now, almost glowing. “Nana,” she said after a brief pause, then quickly turned back to the patient, as if afraid of the way he looked at her. Inside this story: #A girl who feels others’ emotions—and can influence them #A man struggling with the shadows of his past #Two wild little troublemakers #Forbidden feelings

Mixed up the grooms? Well, it happens! Especially when you’ve been dropped into a strange new world, without so much as a survival guide. So here’s the bare-minimum plan: 1. Fix the mess I’ve made (oops). 2. Find a way back home. 3. And most importantly, do not fall in love!

She dreamed of experiencing true, all-consuming love. And she did... And then he trampled on that love, mutilated and shattered it... Who can bring back the fire of life in her soul? Perhaps only the one who once cruelly extinguished it...

"You want me to pretend to be your wife?" Kira wasn’t just surprised — she was downright shocked by what she heard. "And you want me to actually, I mean officially, marry you?" "Exactly," Timur confirmed. "You'll be my legal wife for a while. Then, when we return to Ukraine, we'll get divorced and go our separate ways." "And what makes you think I’d be interested in this?

"The hotel I’ll build in your town will be yours. And I’ll pay off all your uncle’s debts so he can keep his position as mayor. He’s counting on you to be reasonable."

“I now pronounce you husband and wife…” Those words made Lesia feel even worse than she had before. The trap had snapped shut. “You may kiss your bride…” “No…” The word escaped Lesia’s lips, but when she saw her grandfather’s stern yet satisfied expression, she bit her lip. Still, she could no longer hold back the tears. She squeezed her eyes shut, bracing herself for the moment this peasant—now her lawful husband—would start kissing her wildly. Like a predator claiming its prey, driven into this hateful… trap. But instead, Amir simply embraced her and whispered in her ear: “We’ll save the kisses for later. For now, try to calm down and put on a happy face. It’s our wedding, after all—not a funeral.”
