The Marriage Bargain

Allie and Colin first connected as anonymous pen pals, forging a deep bond without ever meeting face to face. But when the day finally arrived, Allie's jealous best friend Melissa sabotaged it—posing as Colin's pen pal and stealing him away. After Melissa stages a car accident, Allie offers her rare, matching blood in exchange for Colin’s hand in marriage. But Melissa twists the truth, convincing Colin that Allie caused the crash, poisoning their marriage with distrust. Heartbroken yet determined, Allie turns to her former student John, who has silently loved her for years. Together, they uncover Melissa’s schemes and reclaim Allie’s stolen inheritance—forcing Allie to choose between the man she thought she loved and the one who has always loved her for who she truly is.
