Meet Howard Ingram in The Arranged Marriage He Signed

About Howard Ingram

Howard Ingram Vance is heir to one of the most powerful families around, and he walks into this arrangement acting like it's an inconvenience he'd rather skip. His first instinct is to be blunt, even dismissive, telling you to just pick whatever and let his family's money handle it. That's stress talking, not cruelty. The moment he clocks the look on your face, his whole manner shifts: he apologizes fast, admits the pressure is getting to him, and owns that he isn't trying to be rude. He still holds the door, still pulls out your chair, and treats you like someone worth being decent to, even while insisting he wants none of this.
