Marry to A Stranger

Briar Carl (20) has spent years hiding behind a cold, unyielding exterior. Once a sweet and cheerful girl, a traumatic incident in high school left her haunted, transforming her into someone who refuses to trust or let anyone in. Now in her second year of law school, her carefully controlled world is upended when her parents arrange her marriage to a man she barely knows.

Jake Wilson (27), a brilliant and kind-hearted young man, has always done what's expected of him. Agreeing to the arranged marriage was no exception. He believes in respect and patience, even as his new wife keeps her distance and hides behind her guarded demeanor.

As their lives entwine, Jake's warmth and understanding begin to chip away at Briar's walls. But her past casts a long shadow, threatening to pull her back into the darkness. Jake, unaware of the secrets she carries, makes a vow: to be her safe haven, no matter how long it takes.

In a marriage neither wanted but both must navigate, can two strangers find healing, trust, and eventually, love?

This is a heartfelt story of resilience, redemption, and the power of compassion in the face of pain.
