My entire life, I've been shunned, unable to be accepted by the people around me. Because of that, I'm stuck in a dead-end job in a dead-end bar. Until he came into my life. Rich, powerful, and drop dead gorgeous... he's a man any woman in the world would kill to have. And for some reason... he wants me. The deal is simple. Marry him, and produce an heir. Of course, there's a catch. I've got one year. If I succeed, I'm set for life, with more money than I could spend in ten lifetimes. If not, I get nothing. Pretty straight forward, even if it's not too romantic. Although, for a girl like me, romance is a fantasy I can't afford. But what happens if I fall in love with him? How far am I willing to go? And what chances am I willing to take to keep him by my side… forever?
This is my first book by this author and i have to say i really enjoyed reading it, I like the story and the characters were really well written. It's not a really long read i was able to read it in about 3 hours.

This is an emotional story about two people that entered an agreement but fell in love despite it. Once I started I could stop turning the pages to find out what was going to happen next. This was an entertaining story and was well written. It has everything an amazing book should have a simple plan, people out to get the main characters, steamy scenes, drama and an enduring love. I would recommend this to anyone that loves to read an great story. The chemistry between Su Lin and Rick sizzle between the pages.

This was okay. The writing itself wasn't bad, but the story just didn't grab my attention. Rick is jerk in my opinion. I understand his situation, but that doesn't mean that you have to be rude about everything. He could have taken the time to show Su-Lin what she needed to know, instead of pawning her off on someone else, and then acting like she's silly for not automatically knowing everything. Su-Lin is in an impossible situation, but I guess she made the decision that was right for her. There are some things that I wasn't expecting, but it wasn't enough to make me fully enjoy this book. This was a first for me from this author, but I would be willing to give her another read. I voluntarliy reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.
At first glance this book does not seem like it's going to be a functional love story. A young Chinese girl stuck because of her biracial heritage forced to become a mail order bride. A young billionaire racing against the clock that's winding down on his life needs an heir. Then you start reading and oh my word, Su Lin and Rick make you fall in love with them. This one is absolutely worth the read.
This story is well written, emotional, exciting, and with twists, hope and love. All of which had me totally captivated throughout. This story certainly pulls at the heartstrings. I look forward to reading more of this authors’ work, and recommend for all readers.
This story was definitely a little different from what I normally would read but it was exciting. There were many twists and turns that I never saw coming. It was enjoyable and a really good book.

📚I am honestly and voluntarily reviewing an Advanced Reader’s Copy of this book 📚 This was a 3 1/2 ⭐️ read for me. Rick and Su Lin are well written characters, the story is well paced, and has some interesting twists. My first read from Jesse Jordon and I would read another of her books.
5*+ Is my first book by this author But not The last. The idea is very good, I liked the subject of The book and also how smart where The conversations between The h and H! I Could not put it down and it is 3 am already.
Su Lin and Rick's story had me crying my eyes out. So emotional. I was getting really mad at the author but she redeemed herself. Super steamy and emotional. Grab your box of kleenex for sure. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Loved this story so many twists but I had to finish it couldn't put it down it hooked me from start to the end a five star story. I voluntarily reviewed an advance copy of this book.
Loved reading the engaging and enthralling romance story. Su Lin agrees to be a mail order bride for a rich, handsome man, Rick, who needs a heir before dying of a deadly disease. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read love story.
While the premise of having someone’s baby has been done time and again, Jesse Jordan takes it a couple of steps further. What if she is a mail-order bride, half Chinese, half white and shunned by her country. And he has a rare disease with no cure. While one’s first reaction may be this too morbid, Ms. Jordan has written a story of love, hope, and never giving up. A story that grabs your heartstrings and doesn’t let go. This is a story of sex, love, suspense, laughter, and tears all rolled into one beautiful story.
