Books like Marriage To A Stranger by Dorothy Phillips
Molly must decide whether to comply with the restrictive terms of her father's will, which would force her to marry the cold, arrogant stranger Adam and relinquish her beloved wilderness home. Though the idea of this marriage once elicited a resounding "No!", she ultimately agrees out of devotion to her father and the necessity of keeping her property. Isolated amid the Alaskan wilds, Molly longs for Adam’s touch and slowly turns her initial panic into a burning desire. Yet she realizes that Adam claims her in name only; he wants her but will never love her. The tension between duty and desire drives the story.
