Sweet Beginnings (Mayridge Hearts #1)

She ran to find freedom. She never expected to find him.

Olivia has always lived under her parents’ rules, where wealth, appearances, and family reputation come first. When they arrange her marriage to a controlling man for the sake of business, she’s expected to obey… until she sees the man he truly is.

Left without any other choice, Olivia runs—escaping to a quiet small town where freedom, kindness, and a life of her own finally feel possible. There, she meets a man with a smile that could melt steel and a heart that beats with gentle patience, deep tenderness and a devotion that honors choice in every moment.

Unable to fight the connection, Olivia begins to believe in love for the first time. But her past isn’t finished with her yet… and running away might not be enough to keep her safe.
