Tessa Dare The Bride Bet

The first born son of the Laird to the largest clan on the boarder is one of three identical triplets. But nobody really knows which one was born first! So who will rule? The king will decide. Or will he? To keep peace in the highlands and unite the boarder lands the king feels all three men must have a clan to rule. Since all three are unwed, he chooses brides for them that will result in each of the triplets having a clan to rule and a wife to create heirs with. Assuming the laird named his first son after himself, the king weds Griogair to the second daughter of the clan to the west. He and Eliana would stay on MacInnis land, uniting it through marriage with the MacDonald clan that stretched from their boarder to the west coast. He wed the remaining brothers to clans that had only women as direct heirs. Padraig to the widow Fraiser and Alasdair to the young Isobel whose father owned the land on the east coast. But the men have other ideas. This is a game the men have played since they were small. Padraig tosses a silver coin and his brother's nod, instantly swapping identities as smoothly as taking a step. Will anyone notice they have each chosen their own wife? Just as nobody knows which son was first born, few can tell them apart. Certainly not the emissary or clergy sent by the king! But when the truth comes to light, will it all unravel?

Nagsimula ang lahat sa isang taya, isang pustahan na ginawa ni Stanford Guzman sa kanyang dating kasintahan, isang pustahan na nagpapahintulot kay Veronica Montenegro na pakasalan ang kanyang lihim na pag-ibig. Naisip ni Stanford na palagi siyang mananalo ngunit hindi inaasahan, na ang pagkawala ni Veronica ang magiging pinakamalaking pagsisisi niya.

"Malinaw na nakasaad sa kontrata na maaari nating tapusin ang kasal na ito kung hindi tayo magmamahalan sa isa't isa sa loob ng isang taon. Hindi kita mahal, Veronica. You failed to win my heart." Walang emosyon niyang sinabi ang mga salitang iyon, nakatingin sa mga mata ko. Naiintindihan ko na hinding-hindi ko mapapalitan si Melissa sa puso niya, kaya nagpasiya akong ilihim sa kanya ang pagbubuntis ko. "Maghiwalay na tayo," sabi ko Naisip ni Veronica na mabubuhay siya nang masaya kasama ang kanyang sanggol na malayo kay Stanford at sa kanyang malamig at walang pusong mundo. Ngunit gumawa na ng ibang plano ang tadhana para sa kanya. Sa huli ay tumawid siya sa kanyang landas. "Naglakas-loob kang itago sa akin ang anak ko. Ngayon humanda ka sa mga kahihinatnan." Nang muling lumitaw si Stanford sa buhay ni Veronica, naging buhawi ng kaguluhan ang lahat. Paano niya ilalayo ang kanyang sarili at ang kanyang anak sa kanya? Maililigtas kaya niya ang sarili na hindi na muling masaktan?

Isabella is young, full of hope, and entirely too naive for this world. I didn’t expect her to become someone I couldn’t ignore. But here she is, stepping into my life, challenging everything I’ve worked for. She doesn’t belong in my world, yet she makes it harder to push her away. I’ve lived in shadows long enough to know better, but something about her light makes me question everything. Still, the world I live in is too dangerous, and trust is a luxury I can’t afford. Isabella Pov: I never imagined this life. Married to a man who is more scarred than I could have ever known, his world of darkness and danger closing in every day. I didn’t sign up for this, yet here I am, holding my ground. Nicolas might think I’m naive, but I see the man behind the mask. He doesn’t know how to love, but I refuse to let that stop me. I won’t run, even if I’m constantly surrounded by threats and lies. This world doesn’t scare me, but what Nicolas won’t let me see—his pain, his demons—that’s what I’m fighting to understand. I didn’t come into this to save him, but maybe it’s time he lets me in.
