Baby Wo Keiyaku Kekkon / Hara Title : GREEK'S BRIDE by BLACKMAIL (Harlequin Romance)

[Machine Translation] My first love from 15 years ago too much time has passed to continue that dream. Standing before the church altar, Zoe looked at Archimedes and thought to herself. Both orphans, they had grown up in her adoptive father s home, and Zoe had deeply admired him. But he ran away from home at 18, and they hadn t seen each other since. Now, even if he was forced by her adoptive father, there s no way he d agree to a one-year contract marriage with Zoe! And on top of that, he s being told to have a child and hand it over to her adoptive father. I had no choice but to agree, intending to have it done artificially with the help of a specialist. But I don t want this. I don t want a marriage like this with my first love and I certainly don t want to fall in love with him all over again.

15年前の初恋―夢の続きを見るには時間が経ちすぎたわ。ゾーイは教会の祭壇の前に立つアルキメデスを見て思った。身寄りのない二人は養父の家で育ち、ゾーイは彼に強く憧れた。でも彼は18歳で家を飛び出し、その後、会うこともなかった。今になって、いくら養父に強いられたとはいえ、ゾーイとの1年の契約結婚に応じるなんてありえない!しかも、子供をもうけて養父に差し出せと言われているのに。私は専門医の手を借りて人工的にすませるつもりで、やむをえず同意したのだった。でも、こんなのはいや。初恋の人とこんな結婚はしたくない―また恋におちてしまうのも。
