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.
