Romance Novels About Arranged Marriages Novels & Stories

It was one of my favorite things in the world now—he didn’t laugh often, but when he did, it was real. “Fine,” he said. “But you owe me for this.” “I’m marrying you. I think that covers it.” He pulled me toward the bed, his hands trailing heat down my back. “Then let me start cashing in on that debt.” We fell together, laughing, kissing, wrapped in a bubble of joy that, for once, didn’t feel like it would pop. One month later – Tuscany The sun dipped low behind the hills, casting the vineyard in a warm, honeyed glow. Lanterns swayed gently in the breeze, strings of fairy lights twinkled above the tables, and soft Italian music floated through the air.

BROOKE Luna Davenport’s words rang in my head repeatedly. She’d easily renewed my motivation by sharing that her and Ace’s father’s union wasn’t a peaceful process either. I’d always assumed that Ace was one of the few alpha heirs that were against being in an arranged marriage, but after hearing about her experience, I realized that wasn’t the case. In fact, I did a deep dive research on arranged marriages throughout history in the library after I left the hospital and I learned that most powersful Alphas were too stubborn to concede the hopes of having a love marriage or a mated marriage that could strengthen their reign.

" It was your first day here after marriage. When you walked in the dining room, the fragrance hit my nostrils and it was so damn intoxicating." " We really did come a long way isn't it ? From being mere strangers to enemies , becoming friends and finally falling in love with each other." She sighed dreamily. " Yeah it feels just yesterday that I got married to a jerk like you that I have grown to love so much." She teased to which I chuckled. " Who thought I would ever get married let alone have an arranged bride and fall so fucking deeply in love with her?" We looked into each other's eyes before we attached our lips in a kiss. A sweet , gentle kiss.

A soft exhale of relief escaped his lips as he took a half-step back, giving me space. “That’s enough,” he said. “For now.” “If I'm going to do this… if,” I started. “Then you need to do something another Manda. I am not going to be the one to ruin someone else's marriage.” Roman’s jaw tightened at the mention of Manda’s name. His eyes flickered with something similar to frustration, maybe even guilt, but he didn’t look away. “I know,” he said after a pause. “You’re right. You’ve always been right about that. But you don't need to worry, it was nothing but an arranged marriage.”

This impossible, devastating, completely fucked-up moment where I realize that the arranged marriage I’ve been dreading might actually be to the one person I’ve wanted all along. But wanted on my terms. Not like this. Not as some corporate merger disguised as romance, orchestrated by people who think love is a line item on a balance sheet. He was supposed to be my choice, not my assignment. The blood drains from my face like someone just opened a valve and let all my hopes leak out onto Le Vieux Château’s marble floors. Because this changes everything. And absolutely nothing. I’m still trapped. Still being traded like property. Still walking into a marriage that’s more about quarterly projec

Lucas commented. "If Zelly agrees," Bryan added. "What do you mean?" Dylan asked. "Bro, out of you three—Yanna, you, and Zelly—Zelly is the one who's suffering the most. Your marriage was arranged, and she's been in love with you all along. Then she suddenly finds out you and Yanna have a child. Just imagine if you were in her position," he answered. He swallowed hard and couldn't respond immediately. "It's going to be tough for you, right? That's Zelena Havens, and then she's hurt because of her husband," Lucas said.

The friendly, bookish man who’d been so curious about the outside world had been intended as my husband? “That’s…” I didn’t know how to finish the sentence. “I know it’s a lot to process. But you have to understand, arranged marriages aren’t about romance in our world. They’re about creating the next generation of gifted children, ensuring the survival of our abilities.” I thought about Karl’s genuine smile, his curiosity about my life. Had he known? When we’d talked in the hallway, had he been thinking about what might have been? “Does he know?” I asked.

“I’m not exactly a romantic, so I don’t think arranged marriages are so bad. Most marriages end in divorce because people choose wrong. They have no idea what to look for in a partner, what kind of relationship will last for fifty years. They think with their emotions rather than logic, so they marry for all the wrong reasons. By finding a suitable partner that checks off all the boxes, you eliminate all of that.” I swirled my glass of wine again and took a drink. “I don’t have a problem with arranged marriages. I don’t have a problem with regular marriages either. I just wish I had the option to never marry. Marriage seems to be a prerequisite in order for me to have any hold on our hotels…

"What kind of bullshit? That is the most ridiculous sentence I've ever heard in my entire life." Irene frowned as she turned to face Noah, who was still focused on driving "Just so you know, you and I are not the only ones who got married as a result of an arranged marriage in this world. I've read many stories about arranged marriages, and many of them ended up falling in love and growing old together." Noah laughed again, "But that won't happen in our relationship," he said as he came to a stop in front of the Irene Company. "That's good because I hope so as well." As she got out of the car, Irene said.

' Even though the boys and the girls knew that this was what the meeting was all about, they were still dumbfounded by the news. Mr Brown continued with his speech. "Kayla Davis, meet Alex Brown, your future husband" Kayla nodded her head. "And as from today henceforth, Alex, you have to start taking care of Kayla. You both are going to get married immediately after college."He ended his speech, opened the file in front of him and stamped it with the stamp that Kayla spotted earlier. Kayla's heart skipped so many beats after this, she felt as if she was going to faint at any moment. 'They should have asked for our own opinion too' she thought. 'What if things didn't go as planned between us?
