Struck by Cupid's Arrow

In the bustling city of Wiltspoon, where autumn's gentle breeze tempers the lingering heat, Serenity Hunt finds herself at a crossroads, setting the stage for this compelling **billionaire romance**. Eavesdropping on a disparaging comment from her brother-in-law about her living situation, Serenity realizes that the only way to alleviate the burden on her sister and secure her own independence is through marriage. Enter Grandma May, a well-meaning matriarch with an unconventional solution: a marriage proposal to her grandson, Zachary York, a man shrouded in mystery and unknown to Serenity. Desperate for a resolution, Serenity agrees, hoping this arranged union will bring stability to her life and silence the unrest at home. The day arrives, and at City Hall, Serenity meets Zachary for the first time. Expecting an unattractive suitor, she is taken aback by his striking appearance and undeniable confidence. Serenity, a self-sufficient woman who runs a modest bookshop and sells trinkets online, finds an unexpected common ground with Zachary, despite their vastly different backgrounds. Grandma May, ever the optimist, assures Serenity of Zachary's good character, describing him as attentive and considerate beneath his aloof exterior. Following an initially frigid introduction, they navigate the marriage formalities, Serenity finding solace in the knowledge that she will soon move into a house owned by Zachary, a move that will undoubtedly ease her sister's worries and quell the ongoing arguments. However, Zachary throws a wrench into the works, bluntly stating that Serenity is free to withdraw from the marriage if she has any reservations. His coldness hints at his own reluctance, revealing that he has no desire to marry a stranger. With the ink barely dry on the marriage certificate, Serenity is left wondering if she has made the biggest mistake of her life. Will she defy his assumptions and make this **billionaire arranged marriage** work, or will his aloof demeanor and hidden secrets ultimately drive them apart? Is there more to this **contemporary romance** than meets the eye?
