Aliya's Shoes Novel

Shelby appears to have the ideal life, but beneath the surface, she faces an impossible situation. Forced into a contract marriage, she must compete for her husband's affection against an insurmountable rival—his deceased first love. Ian has never recovered from losing the woman he loved. Consumed by grief, he withdrew from the world until his mother arranged a marriage to secure the family's future. His only obligation is to produce an heir, but he remains emotionally bound to his late wife, unable to move forward. When Shelby enters Ian's life through their arranged union, neither expects what unfolds. As Ian begins to discover there is more to his new bride than he initially perceived, he finds himself caught between honoring the memory of his lost love and the unexpected complications this contract marriage brings. Both must navigate a relationship neither chose, haunted by the past and uncertain about the future.
