"A page-turning story about love overcoming pragmatism"

Romance

Tamara, after being left at the altar, swindled by her former fiancée and losing her job, is struggling to make ends meet. So when a trusted friend brings her a proposal that will afford her some immediate financial relief, she finds it difficult to say no. Desperate not to lose her home, Tamara marries Kwabena Opoku, a man of Ghanian descent, who is desperately in need of a green card.

What starts out as a business proposition becomes something more as the partners learn to respect and enjoy one another. But is that enough to turn this marriage of convenience into something else?

Jewel Amethyst writes a page-turning story about love overcoming pragmatism. Tamara doesn't want to like Ben, but can't help herself after he shows her a compassion she's never experienced before. Ben has no intentions of getting involved with Tamara, a plus-size woman unlike his typical lovers, but he finds himself drawn to her sadness and wanting to help in spite of her sometimes vicious temper. A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE is an enjoyable tale from this debut novelist.
