Unlikely Affections

Meredith Sinclair, a free-spirited 21-year-old woman, has always yearned for independence. Raised by her cold and domineering father, she has grown accustomed to being a pawn in his power games. Her world turns upside down when her father arranges her marriage to 27-year-old Elijah Knowles, a ruthless and enigmatic business tycoon. Though the marriage feels like a trap, Meredith quickly realizes Elijah is not like the other suitors her father had lined up. Powerful, impossibly handsome, and surprisingly attentive, Elijah is hiding a secret: he had orchestrated their marriage from the start. For years, he had watched Meredith from afar, secretly in love with her, and when he learned her father was seeking a suitor, he seized the opportunity.

As the newlyweds begin their life together, Meredith finds herself torn between resentment at losing her freedom and a growing attraction to the man who now holds her fate. Despite her initial resistance, she begins to see a different side of Elijah-one who is deeply caring, protective, and willing to do anything to make her happy. Slowly, Meredith's guarded heart begins to soften, and she finds herself falling for the very man she once despised

However, not everyone is happy with their union. External forces-rival business associates, bitter family members, and secrets from the past-emerge to threaten their fragile relationship. Is their love strong enough?
