Married to Mr Sterling

Jade Chen

Sinossi

Description：
Claire Bennett never expected Adrian Sterling to propose outside a county clerk's office. She has loved him for years from a careful distance, and for one dizzy moment, it feels as if every impossible dream has finally come true.

Then Adrian tells her the truth: he is marrying her, at least in part, so his grandfather can rest easy.

What begins as a practical marriage soon becomes something far harder to define. Adrian is as cold and unreadable as ever in words, but in private he is thoughtful, protective, and quietly attentive in ways Claire cannot ignore. He arranges help for her family, stands by her in moments of weakness, and makes room for her in a life that never seemed to have space for anyone else.

But tenderness is not the same as certainty. With the Sterling family under pressure, company conflicts rising, and rumors about another woman feeding Claire's doubts, every silence between them starts to feel dangerous. The more Claire wants the marriage to be real, the more afraid she becomes of learning that she is the only one who ever meant it.

In a house that no longer feels cold and a marriage balanced between duty and desire, Claire must decide how much of her heart she can risk before it breaks for good.
