Sophie Green, shopkeeper turned match-maker, refuses to match vulgar, abusive Rhett Jones so he finds his own wife. Unless Sophie can stop the wedding.
"That man’s got no business marrying anybody. There’s got to be some way to keep a woman from getting married."
“She can’t get married if she already is married.” Sophie explained her plan.
“Me? Pretend to be Rhett! That’ll be the day! Besides it’ll never work – don’t you suppose she’ll wonder when she hears the preacher say, ‘and do you, Noah Ingram?’”
“I’ll talk to him about it. If I can get it taken care of, will you do it?”
“If you can get the preacher to lie?” he said incredulously. The corners of his mouth lifted ever so slightly. Leave it to Miss Green to attempt the impossible. “You’ve got yourself a deal, Miss Green. If you can get the preacher to lie, I’ll marry her.”
Was she not an orphan any more? Hope was an adult and once grown, the girls were turned out. It would be winter before long. Then what?
“Seeking young wife to share frontier life with. Prefer brunette..."

Survivor's remorse (Book 3)
"May I join you?" He sat down before I even said anything, I looked at him and carried on with what I was doing. "Want to hear a fun fact?" "My sister used to work at this place, she loved working here, she met the people she loved here" He said while looking around the place. "I wasn't ready you know? Like she was here and now she is just gone. Forever" I let out a sarcastic laugh Me" I know what you mean" I ordered four more tequilas, and paid for them. "Fuck life" He smiled, I pushed two tequilas his way and downed mine. Me" I have to go, it was nice meeting you sir" I pat his back and then grabbed my things. "You from England?" "The accent" I nodded Me" Well I'm from Cape Town but I moved to England when I was 6 years old with my Aunt." He also got up from his chair "Enjoy your vacation" I shrugged Me" I'm actually here for a funeral and my brother is getting married two weeks after that" He laughed "Isn't there a movie about that?" I laughed too "There is, I really have to go. It was nice meeting you" He said Me" Goodnight" He smiled "Goodnight" I laughed because Qhama really didn't recognize me and I feel stupid, because in a room full of people. He would be the only person I recognize, I guess I don't matter anymore.Concluida

"Okay, after I saw her, let me show you to the pool" my dad says to her "Okay" Alice smiles and nods "Okay, I'll be back Madison, to talk to her" he walks off I just look as she walks off and I start to hear Sarah laughing and I turn around and see Zoey just smiling.

Trail of Conflict by Emilie Loring
In the wedding of the decade, Geraldine Glamorgan's millions were united with Steve Courtlandt's aristocratic name. Both young, handsome, vibrantly alive, they found themselves, "for better or for worse," bound in a glittering - and empty - marriage of convenience. Then tragedy brought Steve the ownership of a ranch out West. Gamely, Geraldine went with him, forfeiting her income and defying her father's wishes, in order to live as a simple rancher's wife. Just as it seemed that their new life might at last bring them together, mysterious events endangered her safety and a misunderstanding threatened to wreck her new-found happiness. *This story is in the public domain and I take no credit for writing it.*Concluida
The Heiress's Silent Captor by adeen
𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐄𝐃 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐆𝐄 | 𝟏𝟖+ "You were made to be ruined, Sophie. And I'll be the man to do it-with patience... or without." · 𖥸 · Sophie Maddox is the embodiment of innocence-delicate, obedient, and untouched by the outside world. At just nineteen, she's spent her life hidden behind silk curtains and garden walls, raised under the strict rule of a powerful but crumbling family who taught her to be seen, not heard. With honey-blonde hair, doll-like gray-blue eyes, and a voice as soft as a whisper, Sophie has never disobeyed an order, never spoken to a man without permission, and certainly never known the kind of hunger that simmers behind the eyes of Liam Voss-the man she's been forced to marry. Liam, a thirty-two-year-old billionaire with a brutal past and a reputation that sends men running, is the definition of control. Ruthless in business and terrifying in presence, he's used to having everything his way-until Sophie. He didn't want love. He didn't want softness. What he wanted was an heir, a contract fulfilled, and a wife who would never question his authority. But Sophie's quiet submission awakens something possessive and feral inside him, something darker than dominance-a need to claim her in ways no contract could bind. She was given to him. Trained to obey. But the more he touches her, the more he realizes: breaking her might be the only way to keep her.Concluida
