Jake Peralta has never been one for his father's little side business of marrying off his kids for money. But it's just what he does. No matter who Roger has tried to set him up with, no matter how much the money, he refuses. As the youngest sibling of the Peralta clan, he's seen each one of his sisters shipped off to marry some rich guy half way across the world. He's seen some of his brothers married off as well, the girls' fathers hoping to settle them down. But not him, and it never will be.
Amy Santiago didn't even think that arranged marriages still happened in America. She was wrong. After her wealthy father falls into debt, he gets a proposal, for his daughter to marry Hunter Peralta in exchange for money and for Amy to have a stable life no matter what.
Victor Santiago takes the deal, only wanting what's best for his daughter. She doesn't see it that way.

"The contract states that she has to marry a Peralta right? It never states a certain one?"
Jake interrupts whatever their fathers were talking about.
"What are you getting at Jake?" His dad asks.
"You've always wanted me to be set up with someone, I want to marry her."

Unexpected Love (Unedited)
'They sealed the deal by planning on getting you married to him...' Blake's words ran through her mind repeatedly. Kathleen's world comes crashing down when she finds out that her mom and dad arranged a marriage for her with none other than her rival since middle school, Nathan Heinrich. She never, once in her life, thought that she'd be married to Nathan. To add more ridicule to it, she hasn't seen him in the past 10 years nor is she planning to see him till their marriage or so she thinks. Nathan Heinrich is none other than your typical average player who has the whole world under his feet. With his charming good looks and sparkling green eyes, he could get any dame in this world. Not really into the thought of a married life with a wife and kids, he is the type who really wants to enjoy his bachelor life along with the playboy reputation. What if his parents thought that the best way to tame Nathan's playboy habits is to get him hitched to none other than his arch rival, Kathleen Holzknecht? She has got the money, the looks, the charm and everything, but why Nathan despises her is totally something ridiculous. With Kathleen storming into his life like a whirlwind, will Nathan change for good and leave all his habits of sleeping around and be the man of Kathleen's dreams or will bitter memories of past affect their life after marriage? Read more to find out what happens..... A/N This was my very first story on Wattpad, guys. This first few chapters would be short and not really...good, I'd say.

Forced love
ARRANGED MARRIAGE "I will not marry anyone. I don't care if it's for alliance, because we both know we don't need it!" I hissed back. Our mafia was one of the most feared, if not the most. No one dared touch us, so why marry a man who cannot give us anything. Before I got to speak up again my father slapped me right across the face. I gasped and put a hand to my cheek. My mouth stayed shut and I sat down in silence. Neither my mother or my brother did or said anything. I wouldn't except them to, since they never did. "I am your father and you will show me respect!" He demanded and sat back down. My cheek ached and I knew it would leave a mark. One I would have to cover up later. "But father, if you just tell me why," I tried and he cut me off again by picking up a fork and throwing it in my direction. He missed by a few inches only. My mother stared blankly down at her plate, not wanting to show my father a reaction. "Do not question me Katherine. You're leaving tomorrow" He said at last. ----------- What happens when the stubborn and independent Katherine Lopez is forced into marriage? Was it all for alliance between two mafias like her father said? And how far will she go to break the arrangement before the wedding date? Will she kill to get what she wants?
