Chapter 1 – The Husband From Heaven

“You’re already married! Why are you here to register again?!

“Don’t you realize it’s a crime to be a bigamist?”

Keira Olsen, startled, stepped out of the courthouse, holding a just-printed marriage certificate.

The man who had accompanied her here to register looked at the stunning woman and lamented, “Miss Olsen, you’re already married. Why did you hire me for a sham wedding?”

She then looked at his name: Lewis Horton.

She was certain she never met this man!
