Turner's chance
“Aanu lives life as it comes. It doesn't come very subtly though but she's come to terms with it. However, there is chaos when the core of her existence is shaken by the reveal of the truth about her paternity. Forcefully, to protect herself, her education and the people she loves, she then enters an arranged marriage in a land far from hers, with the hopes to get out unscathed. Caleb Turner doesn't live life like a typical English man anymore. He practices a religion that is foreign to his family and society and as such, life presents itself to him in varying sorts. He is quite at peace with his chore of a life. That though, is until his father set him up for a contract marriage to earn a massive construction deal and hide the woes he perpetuated in the past. For Caleb, he was just going to get it done with, like every other deal, coming out with success like his endless business conquests. But life doesn't always agree with our plans. And it sure did not agree with Aanu or Caleb. Here is a story that tells the tale of two very different people, distinct in race and creed, falling in love. What ensues between the two in this money-convent will dazzle as they fight family, friends, stereotypes, their pasts and even themselves through their own peculiarities to obtain the the essence of life; love.”
