Chapter 1
You’ve stepped over the line, Ma.
Garrett Adams was mad, furious even.
Someone had to take the initiative. I want grandchildren before I leave this earth.

She might be perfectly lovely, but I’m not going to marry someone sight unseen. I don’t want to marry anyone for that matter, how can I make the issue more clear?
Elisa let out an exasperated sigh. "This is my property also. If you won’t marry her, then I’ll invite her to
