The Marriage Contract
There s no place like home, but even ruby slippers won t get Clair Atherton there. For Clair, home is Fairlove, Virginia, and a Federal Era house built by her ancestors. Although the house still stands, it might as well be over the rainbow, because the man who owned it the man who let it fall to ruin is the same man who destroyed her parents. But sometimes even rich, evil men fail to get their way....
Nick Dylan s father was always manipulative. Still, it surprises Nick to learn that his father would try to control him from the grave. "Fall in love and marry." Or lose everything. If it weren t for his mother, Nick would simply walk away. Since he can t, he ll propose to Clair. She may hate him, his family, and all he stands for, but he does have something she wants. Her house. And her feelings for him guarantee that she won t want to stay married for a minute longer than she needs to.

About the author
Anna Adams
79 books232 followersAnna Adams was in the US Navy, also working on a business degree full-time, when her first child was born. That little guy changed her life--created priorities. She wanted her children to grow up, believing they could do the most unlikely things.
Like writing--which she'd done since she was old enough to force someone to listen to stories and then old enough to pick up a pencil and a piece of paper.
She switched to an English degree--and ignored her husband when he asked if she planned to "open an English store," and eventually found jobs doing any kind of writing. And she learned to write books.
Twenty-something books later, she's a USA Today Bestseller, and she's still believes in unlikely things. Like true love that everyone can believe in.

As a young child Clair's family was destroyed by the Dylan Family. When her parents died she was taken in foster homes and thought she had lost everything. Years later she was able to come back to Fairlove, VA.
Wanted to regain her home so bad that she went into Marriage with the promise that her family home would be returned to her after a year of marriage. But on the day of her marriage was burn down.
The author brought us thru lots of emotions, and we could feel for Clair. It was great to see the way the story played out.

Typical "formula" Harlequin. Not a bad story just very true to form
