The Dowry Tree

Celeste grew up in a far beyond normal family. Most families have strict traditions about holidays or graduations, but what about marriage? The O'Claren family has strict traditions of marrying for advantage instead of love. All O'Claren women must wed before their 21st birthday or be labeled an outcast to the streets. After finding herself betrothed to a stranger as a gift for her 20th birthday, Celeste begins to shatter her family's idea of tradition by meeting this strange fiancee and convince her family that she will marry for love. But upon meeting her husband to be, Sinjin Crane- a mysterious, unwedded, rebel to society much like herself, will she be so quick to run from the altar?
