What does life have in store, when the very person who brings you joy and tranquility turns out to be the most callous creature you’ve ever met? Maria, bless her heart, has always had a tricky relationship with love. Just when she thought she had spotted a glimmer of it, it often turned out to be just a flicker—either a man who wasn’t serious or not quite ready to tie the knot. Now, time wasn’t waiting for Maria. With her biological clock ticking away, the prospect of finding a husband seemed dimmer than ever. As the only child of her late mother, her dreams were simple: to have a family of her own and to do it the right way, in wedlock, thank you very much!
