A Suitable Wife

A Marriage of Convenience Romance Rooted in Love, Legacy & Second Chances.

Synopsis

Some love stories don’t start with butterflies and fate.
Sometimes, they start with a fake ring and a favor no one wants to admit they need.

After burying his wife, Jidenna Kalu swore he’d never open his heart again. His life is focused on his daughter and honoring the memory of the love he lost. But when Uju begins to act out and his mother insists a child needs “a proper home,” Jidenna finds himself facing the one thing he never wanted again—a relationship.

Zola Westbrook had finally found peace after a painful divorce. She poured herself into her career and blocked out the past. But when family obligations push her back into the Kalu family orbit, she comes face-to-face with the man who ghosted her after just a few unforgettable dates.

A temporary solution. That’s all it was supposed to be.

But when fake feelings begin to feel like the real thing, both Jidenna and Zola must decide if they’re brave enough to risk their hearts again—or if fear will cost them a second chance they never saw coming.
