Forced To Be His

“BLURB/ SYNOPSIS "Sir Sterling McLain, I'm not a child. I'm a grown adult, capable of making my own decisions. I don't need a wife. Can't you understand that?" Brent's deep voice echoed through the mansion, his words laced with frustration. Sterling's smile was sly and calculating. "Ah, but that's where you're wrong, my son. You need a wife, and I've found the perfect one for you." Brent's eyes narrowed as he gazed at the young woman standing before him. Vanessa. His bride-to-be. He couldn't believe his father's audacity. Sterling continued, "You'll be wedded to her in three days. No questions, no arguments. You'll make this work, Brent." With that, Sterling exited the room, leaving Brent and Vanessa in an awkward silence. Brent's gaze raked over Vanessa, taking in her stunning features and lithe figure.
