The Secret Wife
Secret illegitimate daughter of wealthy businessman only recently met her dad & spent the last few months of his life with him. She agrees to temporary marriage to her dad's adopted son Hero so Hero doesn't lose the inheritance per her dad's inheritance condition. But she's very unhappy about it b/c Hero thinks she's a gold-digger & his adopted dad's mistress. His main marriage aim is to protect his adopted mom from finding out about his dad's supposed infidelity with her. Their constant fighting masks their potent attraction to each other which scares heroine & makes her runaway from Hero a few times, only to have him chase after her & baffle him about his presumptions about her.Graham does a great job mixing humour with drama. The book had good flow & made reading it quick & pleasant. I like the combo of heroine's spunk & innocence and defensiveness & insightfulness. Heroine was honest overall & her deception made sense due to her over-riding loyalty to her loved ones. I liked Hero's alpha-ness & his caring & loyalty to his family. Their arguments were fiery & hilarious at times. Sexual chemistry & love scenes were sizzling & captured Hero & heroine's romance. This was a delightful read.
Recommended.
