Shelved Promises by AJ Bishop

“I didn’t fall in love with the boxes she checked. I fell in love with her despite them.”

Levi Astor built a life that finally makes sense.
He has the business, the legacy, and a partner who fits into the Astor empire. The woman isn’t just perfect in his world—but in his parents’ eyes as well. Celestine, by his side, is everything he thought he needed. But when the past resurfaces, Levi makes the fatal error, neglecting his Cece for answers he never got.

Celestine Wentworth was told to love him—and somehow, it was effortless.
She checks all the boxes for the Astor family. But when those boxes become cages, and the ghost of Levi’s first love threatens to unravel everything they’ve built, she can’t help but wonder; she is the right choice for his family, for his business, and the safer choice for his reputation. But still only one of the choices. So is she the right one for his heart?

A raw and intense standalone about an arranged engagement with betrayal, heartbreak, and grovel.
