Rural Belle & Three Heirs by Harper Hall

Chapter 1 I Would Rather Die Than Marry Her

Standing in the massive living room of the Martin Family, Chloe Davis felt cornered for the first time in her life.

The two young Martin heirs were staring her down, dressed in floral shirts, with smug and disdainful looks. Their intense gazes made Chloe uneasy.

The second heir, Michael Martin, wrinkled his nose and turned to his lounging brother, Liam.

"This is the fiancée Grandpa picked for us?"

Liam nodded. "Yep, Grandpa gave me a photo, and I checked. It's definitely her."

Michael clutched his head and dramatically beat his chest.

"Did I offend the universe? How did I end up with such a tacky woman? I'd rather be single. I can't deal with this!"

Michael didn't bother hiding his disdain for Chloe.

No surprise there, with Chloe's outfit today, even a wild boar would steer clear.

A floral shirt, dark blue shorts; the shirt tucked into the shorts' waistband.

And that wasn't the worst of it. Her face was smeared with some kind of dark makeup, and she had two pigtails with straw stuck in them, making her look like a cavewoman. Michael's reaction was just like his younger brother Liam's. He covered his face, stared at Chloe for three seconds, then grabbed a trash can and started puking.
