    Reader note

    Haha, you can probably tell from the titles of the books I'm recommending that they fit the theme, right? Arranged marriage leading to love, um, mutual redemption. I think in those stories of arranged marriages followed by love, or those where people are forced into marriage after a period of back and forth, and then fall deeply in love later, there's definitely redemption involved. Um, please don't be offended if you disagree.
