Lyla felt like she was damaged goods, and had no interest in a relationship or another marriage, after the last one nearly killed her. But maybe a relationship that was treated like a business contract would be the safest place for her.

TJ needs to marry Lyla in order to inherit the family business, but he wasn't  looking for a relationship any time soon, as he was avoiding commitment after his last serious relationship didn't turn out the way he had hoped. But a marriage to Lyla was the only way to get what he had been working toward, his entire life.

TJ and Lyla knew each other as children, but when they are brought together again, after years of disappointment for each of them, the contractual relationship they agreed on becomes nothing like either could have envisioned.

Violet by PurplezBubble

Violet Cherie is a 23 year old woman. She lives with her so called family which show nothing but hatred towards her. She is like a broken doll, living with the torturous abuse her family gives and has no escape from them. But what do you think will happen when Adrian Hayes, the man who bullied Violet with her stepsister years ago returns to his home town? Only this time he is coming back with a contract. A contact of marriage that claimed Violet to marry Adrian. •-•-•-•-•-•-•-• "You have to marry to Adrian." I sat there frozen to my spot. There is no way that this was happening. Were they joking? Or was I having another nightmare? This made no sense. Tears welled up in my eyes at mom's statement. My eyes snapped to Adrian and he already was staring at me with intense eyes. I looked away from him and at my mom. I saw her slam the contract on the table. "Now sign this sweetheart." Her words dripped like rotten and tasteless honey. I spun my head towards the table and again gazed at an opened page of the contract. I read the page slowly as my eyes shifted between the words, not believing it. It was a contract, a small one that had no other information than it stated that I had to marry Adrian. It was signed by Mr and Mrs Hayes, Adrian and both of my parents. My eyes darted back to my mom and shook my head in disapproval. No way was I agreeing to this disaster. •-•-•-•-•-•-•-• -WARNINGS- • This book contains strong scenes of abuse. • Please take caution as some scenes may be too harsh for the audience to read. • All rights are owned by @PurplezBubble.

I can't afford to have her blood on my hands." Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind. The slaughter. Bodies everywhere. The putrid stench of decay and metallic blood seeping through his fingers and staining the earth under his feet. The small, lifeless body in his hands whose death he couldn't prevent. And whose death he could never forget. "It won't be like that with her," she murmured to the floor. "I won't take that chance." Heavy with sorrow, her brown eyes looked up into his.
