Bound by Vows, Freed by Love | Jensen Ackles
26 parts Complete MatureJensen Ackles had built his empire brick by brick, meetings, deals, and late nights in boardrooms were the only constants in his world. Love, family, and vulnerability never fit into the carefully drawn blueprint of his life. That is, until an arranged marriage bound him to you.
You weren't a workaholic, but you understood the value of balance, career and family both mattered. Thrust into a marriage with a man who had no space in his heart for anything but ambition, you find yourself caught in a tug-of-war between duty and desire. What begins as cold distance and forced proximity slowly ignites into something neither of you expected: tenderness, trust, and a slow-burn love that shakes the foundations of Jensen's orderly world.
With every clash of priorities and every stolen moment of connection, surprises unfold. Will he learn that there's more to life than his next deal? Or will the walls he's built keep you both from discovering what love truly means?
(An arranged marriage AU filled with strangers-to-lovers tension, slow-burn intimacy, and a love story neither of you saw coming.)
