Temporary Wife

by Joan Kilby

MARRIAGE OF INCONVENIENCE Unfair exchange? Veronique Dutot and Burton O'Rourke each has something the other needs. Veronique is a talented chef, while Burton happens to need a chef for a new cooking show he's about to produce. Veronique, on the other hand, needs her visa extended so she can live in Vancouver near her former mother-in-law. Burton proposes and old-fashioned solution to their very modern problems. A temporary marriage. A marriage of convenience. Veronique accepts although there's nothing temporary or convenient about the way she's starting to feel.
