A simple orphaned school teacher with a heart of gold meets a strange and helpless woman who has lost all memories of who she was. He takes her home and eventually marries her. However, their matrimonial bliss is cut short when the truth about her past is revealed. * * * Adedayo Michael is an orphan who works as a school teacher. He is known for being cool-headed but sometimes he is too soft-hearted for his own good. One day, he comes across a strange and helpless-looking young woman and immediately feels drawn to her. He can't walk away, especially after finding out that she has lost all memory of who she is. Adedayo does something that many Nigerians might consider foolish - he brings her home with him. Despite several attempts to uncover her true identity, he was unable to find any information about her. As time passed, he found himself becoming more and more entwined with her life. When friends, co-workers, and members of their church began to question their relationship, Adedayo decided to make her his wife in order to provide a label for their cohabitation. Although he told himself that this was the only reason, he knew deep down that his feelings for her went beyond convenience. If only loving her was enough to make her his for eternity, but it wasn't. Now, Adedayo is about to learn the hard truth as their marital bliss is disrupted. *** If you enjoyed my story 'When The Sun Sets In The East', click 'read' and save it to your library.

Students turned to stare as he grabbed napkins, trying desperately to look normal while his throat betrayed him. Naomi blinked. "Oh my God-are you okay?" "I'm fine," he rasped, voice rough, eyes watering. "Just... hot coffee." "Right," she said slowly, clearly unconvinced. He avoided her gaze, suddenly very interested in the textbook again. "You didn't answer the question," Naomi added with a small, teasing smile. Evan cleared his throat, cheeks strangely warm. "I'm not pretty." "I didn't say you were," she replied. "I said vampires". **** Evan is a teen vampire who believes emotions are useless and humans are naturally cruel.

And when the world discovers them, the contrast becomes impossible to ignore: he shines in the spotlight, she hides from it.

He needs a noblewoman, but the one he wants is a lady's maid. Garrick Alexander Attenbrough II, The Duke of Windstrom, is in search of a wife. Not of his own accord, but the insistence of his mother, the Dowager Duchess. Garrick has been running his Duchy for a few years, alone, with the exception of a few tussles under the sheets. Since he isn't completely opposed to the idea of marriage, he agrees, but no one has sparked his interest. That is until his married sister, Lady Victoria visits with her husband, the Viscount, and Garrick lays eyes on her lady's maid. Estelle Morrow Blythe has spent her life in service of others. Though she feels lucky that her ladies have been mostly kind, and Lady Victoria treats her like a friend as much as she can, her life as a lady's maid has always been a bitter pill she had to swallow. Then she travels with Lady and Lord Thompson to stay with the Duke of Windstrom. The way he looks at Estelle makes her feel nothing she's ever felt before, but there is no way a lady's maid like her could ever be with a Duke. And she had heard much about this one... When fleeting touches and heated glances stoke the fire between them, Garrick and Estelle will have to decide if they can stand together in the face of society, or if they'll let it all crash and burn.

Trapped by circumstances and haunted by a past he didn't want to face, he told himself it was only a duty. But Noor-silent, simple Noor-was something he couldn't ignore. Her presence stirred something in him, her quietness louder than his own chaos. She never asked for anything, yet she made him face the parts of himself he wanted to forget. And as his walls started to fall, he hated that he wanted her-that he needed the warmth of someone he was never meant to have. As time went on, He began to behave in ways that were antithetical to his initial intentions. He found himself doing everything he had once vowed never to do with his wife. He became the very husband he had despised. He started to crave more, an insatiable desire that gnawed at his soul for her. And then nothing seems to satisfy his aching soul other than his arranged wife's one smile. ●An Indian arranged marriage romance. #Book-1 in #His bride series.
