Terms of Inheritance (Seaside Mergers, #1)

A heartfelt, arranged marriage romance...

What comes first in this business? Duty... Freedom... or Love?

Business in the northeastern region is run entirely by two families, the Fernandez’s and the Fergusons. Tucked away in the secluded opulent city of Seaside, Rhode Island you would never guess to find the home of one of the wealthiest alliances in the country. Or their pawn.

Clementine
Clementine Ferguson is used to being used. By her family, by her husband, and by the companies that drive them. Sold and sealed away long before she even had a choice, Clem has come to accept the fact that she no longer means anything to anyone. No one except the man who suddenly dies and leaves her to…his grandson?

Oaxaca
Of all the responsibilities Oaxaca Fernandez has taken on, having a wife is proving to be the most…delicate of them all. Worse, the longer he plays the role of dutiful husband, the more serious he begins to take it. But is his duty making it hard for him to discern the truth? Are these feelings that he’s growing for his new wife real, or just another one of his responsibilities?

Both forced to marry under the vindictive pretenses of an evil dead man, Clementine and Oaxaca must figure out how to maneuver a life that neither of them chose but are both growing to like.

But no matter how much they like it…is it a life that’s built to last?

Terms of Inheritance is the first book in a series of interconnected standalone novels following two billionaire families and the bonds that tie them.
