Six Weeks Married

Mara Quinn signed a marriage license for a visa and got an office with a view of her own career going up in flames. Six weeks. Separate bedrooms. One dinner a week for appearances. That was the deal with Aaron Halverston, fifty-nine, the architect whose name is on half the city and whose residency clause is the only thing standing between him and a deportation hearing. Mara is his newest associate, twenty-seven, and she knows exactly how bad this looks. Then she opens the Coleridge files and finds the structural flaw he has been hiding for a year — not to save his reputation, but to keep forty families in their homes while he rebuilds the tower underneath them. She shouldn't want a man who lies for a living. She does. He shouldn't have married someone young enough to be his protégé. He did. Six weeks ends on a Friday. Everything else starts the Monday after. An age gap boss romance with signed paper and unsettled business.
