The limo turned off the main road a moment later, and they waited as a large gate swung open to admit them. Jesse and Chris have just tied the knot in Manhattan and are headed to Connecticut to Jesse’s estate, Windmere. The setup: Jesse needs to marry because his grandfather’s will says he will lose control of the family business to his stepgrandmother, Wenda, if he doesn’t marry within a year of his grandfather’s death. It’s a trope rooted in dreams of living in enormous mansions, traveling all over the world and in style, and being able to buy whatever we want, whenever we want. Poor character falls for rich character, and vice-versa. There’s one other classic trope in First Comes Marriage, however, and it’s one romance readers will immediately recognize…. You’d recognize these setups from the old Harlequin style books: forced marriages, enemies to lovers, mistaken identity, and the one I used in First Comes Marriage, the marriage of convenience. The Dreamspun Desires line takes its inspiration from the classic romances and features well-loved romance tropes. You could win a dozen red roses for your sweetheart or yourself!
