I don't think I've ever met two characters as pig-headed as these two. Regardless, I really enjoyed this one and will be looking into more books by Melissa.

Tropes: mail-order bride, marriage of convenience

Content: mentions of the main girl being raped in the past (not detailed, mostly remembering emotions), kissing, MC's friend is in an abusive marriage, a man tries to force himself on MC (it is stopped)
