My name is Janet May, and I am not happy.
The reason I'm not happy is because I'm supposed to marry Dylan Keaze in a month from today and I haven't even met him yet! My parents arranged the marriage and because he's supposedly smart, rich, good looking, and famous, they chose him to be my husband.
I didn't even know until yesterday. Of course I yelled and said I didn't want to marry a complete stranger, I mean, I'm only 17, for Christ's sake!
And Dylan is 21! A legal adult!
Four entire years older than me. I'm not even an adult yet.
But they didn't listen. They just want the money and the fame.
So now I have to figure out how to call off this wedding!
As Claire aims to leave her oppressive stepfamily behind, she befriends Zion. Will he be her ticket to freedom or a distraction in achieving her dreams?
