If you believe that arranged marriages do not exist in this day and age, think again. Arranged marriages might seem medieval, even anti women’s lib, but men and women enter into arranged marriages on their free will.
That’s what happened between Ashlyn Gray and Deacon Cross. Both are rich, and both are scions of Seattle’s elite. But, they need to get married fast for their own reasons. And they have to stay married for at least a year. But, can they?
Ashlyn is all about control. Deacon is all about getting what he wants. Talk about being incompatible. Yet, though they don’t agree, there is a spark between them. They can fan it and make a basis for their relationship. Still, there are secrets that once revealed can end their budding romance, even the beginnings of a friendship.

The Arrangement
She’s got everything under control. He always gets what he wants. What happens when he makes an offer she can’t refuse?
When Ashlyn Gray’s father passes, he leaves one shocking stipulation in his last will and testament. If she wants him to continue funding her education, she will marry. For an entire year. At 23, Ashlyn doesn’t want to date anyone, let alone marry.
At 25, Deacon Cross is a self-made billionaire. He has no time for love. But he needs a wife, and he needs one fast.
Enter Ashlyn. The perfect answer to his dilemma; and he thinks, the answer to hers. Their attraction is off the charts, but Ashlyn doesn’t trust Deacon and he isn’t about to let his guard down.
Can these two really stay married for an entire year.
