The Six-Month Marriage

By Penny Jordan
The Six-Month Marriage by Penny Jordan digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Read this classic romance by New York Times bestselling author Penny Jordan, now available for the first time in e-book!

A temporary marriage…


Sapphire is devastated to learn that wealthy, brooding landowner Blake Sefton only married her to acquire her father’s Cotswolds farm. At first she had been too besotted with him to realize that his passion burned for his mistress, not for his virgin bride. But then Sapphire discovered Blake’s secret love letters and the reason he’d been unable to bring himself to share his wife’s bed. Painfully disillusioned, she ran away and divorced him.

Now four years later, she’s considering remarrying Blake — just for six months — to ease her dying father’s mind. After all, Blake hadn’t desired her before, so what would he want with her now?

Originally published in 1985

The Six-Month Marriage Reviews

3.5
“Wowzers. There’s a lot of fun stuff here. A meddling dad, a manipulative H, a surprise V sex scene, an awful OW (who never gets what’s coming to her though”
“The whole plot was transparent to everyone but the heroine. She drove me bonkers and the hero was unappealing as well.”
