Aliya's Shoes

Shelby appears to have the perfect life, but behind closed doors, she’s been sold off as a catalogue bride—forced into a contract marriage and pitted against a ghost for her husband’s affection. Ian lost his soulmate and refuses to move on, isolating himself until his mother demands he produce an heir. Bound by duty, he expects nothing from his new bride. But when Shelby enters his world, she shatters his cold indifference. Beneath her reluctant compliance lies a woman with hidden depths. Now Ian faces an impossible dilemma: cling to a memory or surrender to a love he never saw coming.
