His Pretend Wife

By Lucy Gordon

Heat level
Warm

Andrew Blake is the heart surgeon who will operate on Elinor's daughter, Hetta. He's also the man Elinor nearly married.... Andrew has helped them so much -- saving Hetta's life and finding them a new place to live. Elinor finds she still loves Andrew, but didn't she lose her right to his love years ago? Now single dad Andrew asks Elinor to live in his home, and become his housekeeper and childminder, almost like a pretend wife. Elinor agrees -- for all their sakes -- but can she ever be Mrs. Blake for real...?

For your information, not judgment.

Severity reflects intensity, not value — “central theme” means a warning is a core part of the book, not that the book is bad.
