Clay needed a wife. Muse was trying to get away from an unhappy home. Two different family dynamics, but they both lacked something they could never seem to find. Love. Clay lived in a home where he was seen as an asset—someone to hand the family business down to, so long as he got married and had a child. Muse was a reminder to her father of the wife who lost her life when giving birth to her. Neglected and ignored, she yearns to break away and find her place in the world. She just didn’t realize that it would be so difficult.
