Description:
A drunken night, a rushed marriage and unfortunate circumstances draw Celeste and Vincent together. A lawyer and a former waitress, Celeste packs up everything she owns when she agrees to marry Vincent the same night she meets him. He's well established, offering to provide for her in exchange for a suitable companion, a wife and mother to his future children.
An arrangement that once sounded like sugar to her ears turns into a nightmare right before her very eyes as their relationship progresses. Vincent is a cruel man, and Celeste learns far too late that it's next to impossible to shape him into the perfect husband.
Teaser:
His jaw is tight, stiff as he smokes out of the window, at least courteous enough not to blow it in her face. When they arrive at the courthouse, he doesn't get out right away, and he doesn't turn off the car either. But he does at least look at her finally, and she feels vulnerable so close under his gaze.
"There's no room for cold feet, Celeste." He says, taking one final drag from his cigarette before tossing the butt out of the open window. "Don't embarrass me."
Was he this cold last night as well? She can't help but think. Am I that desperate?

It wasn't until he took a step towards her did the gravity of situation descended upon and even then she couldn't do anything but shake in fear. She knew making a run for it won't do a thing, calling was not an option and if she screamed...she opened her mouth to shrill but a meek plea came out. Her body's lack of response terrified her, tears gathered in her orbs with horrible anticipation. With his each step nearer she gripped the frame of her window tighter hoping to keep her balance. It took him three steps to be inches away from her body. He slowly took his suit jacket off, making himself comfortable as he amusingly watched her shaken face. She was so horror-stricken to even look at his face. She gulped as his hand cupped her neck in a gentle grip, guiding her eyes to his. His eyes slipped from the hold of her eyes to her lips in a second. She grew self conscious all over again. His heated gaze on her lips was unwavering. In the moment of bewilderment and growing self awareness her tongue unconsciously wiped her lips wet and it was all it took for him to descent on her lips.
