Wife for Hire

by: Janet Evanovich (author)

Hank Mallone knows he's in trouble when Maggie Toone agrees to pretend to be his wife in order to improve his rogue's reputation. Will his harebrained scheme to get a bank loan for his business backfire once Maggie arrives in his small Vermont town and lets the gossips take a look?

Maggie never expected her employer to be drop-dead handsome, but she's too intrigued by his offer to say no . . . and too eager to escape a life that made her feel trapped. The deal is strictly business, both agree, until Hank turns out to be every fantasy she ever had.

This was a short light funny story and oftentimes unrealistic. Maggie agrees to Hanks fake wife proposal so she can get away to write her book while he appears stable so his father will give him a loan for his apple orchard. It was generally entertaining but I didn't like her behavior near the end.
