To Live For Once (Set Me Free II)

Set in a marriage mostly of convenience than of love with a woman he loathes for supposedly trapping him, Rory couldn't wait to get his wife pregnant and be done with her. What happens when he discovers his wife isn't what he thought at first and starts catching feelings?

  Amaya has always wanted a chance to live away from her father's scathing anger and disappointment. She finally thinks luck is on her side for the first time in her life when her father demands she marry the stranger she kissed for the sheer delight of completing the list she made on her dying bed years ago. Could this be fate as she thinks it or a harsh reality? 

 Find out in this exciting story.
