The Desperate Heiress
Emilia is an aristocrat who despises marriage while Aidan is a commoner, popularly known as "the rogue". Infamous for getting into brawls and gambling, he's also known to have a loathing for women having had a traumatic past as a child with his mother.
But fortunately, fate has a different plan for both of them despite being two worlds apart. After the death of her aunt, Emilia is given a condition to stay married for a year in order to become the next Heiress.
Desperate to keep the inheritance from her greedy cousin, she has no chive but to get into a contract marriage with the bitter peasant, Aidan who's also in desperate need of money to save a dying mother.
A contract marriage of one year leads to what they least expected. With it came hostility, conceit, fear, joy, laughter, love and tears, especially when Lord William, Emilia's greedy cousin who covets the inheritance is bent to do anything to get it, even if it means trying to force her into marrying him against her will by abducting her.
