Love is Eternal

the long version

It should have been her dream of happiness coming true. Joanne had worked very well with Dr. Grant as his nurse. After marriage, the question was, "Could she accept a loveless marriage?" Marriage to the eminent Dr. Daniel Grant was to be for mutual convenience. "Love doesn't enter into our agreement," he had informed her dispassionately. "Besides, love is a fabricated emotion and I have no time for it. What I'm offering will be purely and simply a business arrangement to last no longer than a year."
