"The Ocean."
"Out of all the places to choose from, you choose the Ocean?"
"Love is like being underwater. It starts off calming, peaceful and mysterious but spend too long being under and first comes pain, uncertainty and eventually you lose yourself to the unknown."
In a time where the population is on the brink of being wiped out, the government came up with a plan to not only fix the issue at hand, but to also ensure a larger growth rate for years to come. The Natural Selection law.
When a person becomes 16, they receive a notice from the government of the person they are to be married to and by the age of 18, a child should be the outcome. While many disagree with this method, others really think it isn't so bad.
So what happens when the guy nobody talks to and the girl everybody avoids get their notices. Will it be a match made it heaven or will it spell trouble in paradise for the perfect world the government tries to achieve?

✔️ The Unwanted Bride (Book One) **UNDER EDITING**

Every woman turning 20 is entered into The Marriage Process: a government-mandated matchmaking ritual where four men are hand selected by the government to ensure that their children would be perfect in the new society. It's a tradition that has never failed-until the arrival of Juniper Burks. Labeled a government mistake since birth and abandoned by her own parents, Juniper never thought she'd have to partake in the government-issued love game. She believed that since she was unwanted by the people who were suppose to love her unconditionally, so much so that they left, she would simple be exempt from participation. After all, no one would want her failed genes reproducing in society bent on becoming the strongest once again. But Juniper is dead wrong. Not only is she brought into the process, she is assigned the top four, most elite men to win her hand. Is this her redemption... or has the government issued another experiment bound to fail?
