Arranged marriage? In this day and age? Seriously?

That's the proposition Elizabeth Westville, a young beautiful heiress, has to face in order to bring the biggest project of her life to fruition. Joining the two richest families in the country in matrimony was the best way to combine their vast resources and fulfill her beloved late grandmother's dream.

Shane Preston, the man she had to marry, was not too eager to join in this union as well. Dashing and charismatic, he liked his current lifestyle and the freedom to come and go as he pleased. A wife is the last thing he needs.

Unknown to them, this proposal brought up by both their fathers was not only with the future of their business empires at heart but also the happiness of their respective only child. What exactly was their plan?

Both Shane and Elizabeth entered this marriage grudgingly. Will they come to fall in love with each other or will it remain strictly business?

As much as Kimberly Astor hated to admit it, she had a slight problem. Okay, so it was theoretically a major problem, but it wasn't entirely her fault. Okay, so it was her fault, (at least to a certain extent, according to her) but her dad didn't need to be all rude about it. He especially did not need to threaten her future role as CEO on it too. And, setting up an arranged marriage to fix said 'problem' is so out of proportion. Okay, it wasn't completely out of proportion, but still. Jace Kingston didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to be married to a 'problematic heiress'. He certainly was not expecting a sexy vixen, who was hellbent on getting on his nerves and destroying the semblance of normalcy he established in his complex life. So, when the two come together to form a business alliance, they make a simple plan. 1. Fix the problem. 2. Don't ever bring up personal things. 3. Get out. Too bad breaking the second rule is making the third rule look a lot more... difficult.
