• synopsis • 

Ever since she was a child, Jenessa Caldwell has always dreamt that she would marry the man she loved. That is until she is betrothed to Victor Ashford. Never mind that she was an adult- what her parents wanted, they would get.

With no way out, she is determined to make the best out of her situation, even if it is dealing with the moody and aloof Ashford heir. 

* * * 

Having his heart broken before, Victor Ashford is a cynic when it comes to emotions and is simply determined to focus on his family business. That all changes when he is forced to wed Jenessa Caldwell.

Viewing her as nothing but an inconvenience shoved onto him, he is resolute in his decision to treat her as nothing but a trophy wife- to be seen and not heard. However, that all flies out of the window when he realises she isn't what he'd expected...

Jenessa sighed, deciding to take the bull by its horns. "Look, Ashford, I—" she stopped when her betrothed raised an eyebrow at her use of his last name.

She ignored him and continued. "I know that if things were different, we would never have set eyes on each other—"

"I highly doubt that, London society circles are quite small," he interjected mildly.

She seethed and inhaled sharply, trudging on, "And I know that things right now are not exactly what we wanted—"

"Is that so," he stated flatly.

Jenessa can't help but notice that those words were more of a statement than a question and her temper skyrocketed.

If he thought that she wanted this—that she'd been hoping for a match that was as prestigious as the one she'd gotten with him, he was dead wrong.

Already things were tough enough, and the gall the blasted man had to make their shared situation more uncomfortable and difficult—No. Just no.

Glowering up at him, she retorted heatedly, "Well, it's not like you're on my wishlist on Amazon." 

Ashford snorted and shoved his hands into the pockets of his jacket and she blinked. Was that a hint of an actual smile on his face?

Hi yes. After disappearing for a year, I'm back! Anyway, to keep things short, this story has been in drafts for more than two years and it's been revised at least 3 times. And now, I've finally been inspired to flesh it out properly once more and I'm now happy with where this story is going!

It should be about 20 chapters or at most 25! Hopefully!

It will comprise a feisty heroine who has to deal with a moody cynic who will eventually think she's the star and moons in his world—which is my trope, the ultimate trope that I adore. 

Uhm, there will be some mature scenes, swearing—what else is new? And well, nothing much different from my other books, I guess. Anyway, so yeah. 

How often will I update this? Hopefully, regularly! HaHaaHAH I'll try my very best, though! 

Face cast is sort of determined?? but again, maybe no. I WILL CHANGE THE COVER eventually! It was the first cover I made back in like 2016 so, yeah, this story is Old™.  

Anyway, I do intend to continue & finish my other stories, bear with me! And I hope you will join me on this one with as much love and support you've shown for my other works! 

Love, Sher <3
