À propos de cet audio
Duet narration by Joe Arden and Stephanie Nemeth-Parker
Now a number one Amazon Kindle store best seller
When Luca Windsor's secretary suddenly quits her job shortly after his family forces him into an unwanted engagement, he sets out to solve both problems.
By secretly marrying his secretary, Valentina, instead.
The rules are simple:
- Don't fall in love
- Keep their marriage a secret at work
- Share a bed every night
It was meant to be a straightforward and mutually beneficial deal, but with each day that passes, it becomes clearer to Luca that the one thing Valentina wants is the only thing he can never do:
Letting her go.
Publisher's Note: Each book in the Windsors series features a different Windsor sibling, and as such, each book can be listened to as a standalone. The Temporary Wife contains a guaranteed happily-ever-after and no cheating.

Histoire
Let me tell the story of how I fell in love with a woman who had no idea that we were even dating. The ridiculousness started when she stole my beer, and trust me, my grumpy self doesn’t normally share. But somehow, Avery Wilson is the exception to every one of my many rules. Unfortunately, I’m not hers. Not only is she the daughter of the Rev’s coach who hates me, she’s also sworn off dating for the year.

After 20 years of service, the Navy told me it’d be too risky to operate again, forcing me to retire as a Navy SEAL. Going back to my hometown to lick my wounds and figure out what came next was never the plan. Neither was having to turn to some old friends to save my younger brother’s life when he wound up in trouble. It was smooth sailing at first. Until I realized my brother lied. And I was falling for my fake girlfriend—my brother’s ex-fiancée.

From New York Times best seller Pepper Winters comes one of her best tales yet... "What do you do when you meet your soul mate? No wait...that's too easy. What do you do when you meet your soul mate and have to spend a lifetime loving him in secret? I'll tell you what you do. You lie." Ren was eight when he learned that love doesn't exist - that the one person who was supposed to adore him only cared how much he was worth. His mother sold him and for two years, he lived in terror. But then...he ran.

Love. Sucks. I don’t know where I went wrong. Whether it was letting a man convince me that suddenly, the things I’ve never wanted are right for me, or if simply believing the best in the person who I wasted three years of my life on was what lead me here.

We met at my older brother’s house and instantly I knew that he was trouble. He kissed me, right there in the bathroom without a care in the world. And from that moment on, I was his. We were young, brave and naïve when we met. Sneaking around and falling in love. Giuliano Ferrara was perfection. A beautiful, crazy mistake. With his big brown eyes and his boyish charm.

Carter Beckett is the NHL’s resident bad boy, top player both on the ice and in the bedroom, and quite possibly the sexiest man to ever grace my field of vision. But worst of all? He knows it. He’s arrogant, self-centered, and the man doesn’t seem to know what a filter is, let alone how to use one. He’s had everything served to him on a silver platter, including endless strings of women, and apparently, I’m up next. I have the solution to all my sexual frustrations in a drawer at home, and it’s far less complicated than Carter Beckett.

Running away from home at 17 wasn't easy. Let's face it, though, nothing before or in the ten years since has ever been easy for me. And I'm doing okay—sorta. I just need to keep scraping by, living under the radar. Staying out of people's way, off people's minds. When a man walks through my open patio door, stepping boldly into my home and my life, I should be scared, frightened, terrified. I must be more broken than I realized because I'm none of those things. I'm intrigued—and I'm wondering if the way to take control of my life is by giving in to him.

Whip King cannot be the man for me. Cocky, pierced firefighters are perfect for late-night rom-coms, but in real life they’re nothing but trouble. Especially when you find out they work for your dad—after you’ve already slept with them. Moving to my parents’ small town was supposed to be the fresh start I was looking for. When a disastrous Valentine’s Day leads to an unexpected encounter with a sexy stranger, and ends with the hottest night of my life, I didn’t think I would ever see Whip again.

I had a plan to escape the friend zone. Step one: sneak into Reed’s room. Step two: sleep with him. But when the lights turned on, it wasn’t familiar blue eyes I saw. These were dark, angry, and full of demons. And they belonged to Reed’s much-older brother. Four years later, Nash Prescott is no longer the help’s angry son. I’m no longer the town’s prized princess. At 22, I’m broke, in need of a job. At 32, he’s a billionaire, in need of revenge.

After walking in on a masked man murdering my neighbor, I went back to the one place I swore I'd never step foot in again. Citrus Cove. The sleepy town hasn't changed much, but the people have. Including my old high school bully, Cameron Harlow. He's the last person I want to see. He should be the last person I want.

“Give me a second chance, babe . . . and I’ll blow your mind.” Monroe doesn’t know why she answers the text that’s obviously meant for someone else. Or why she keeps answering. Maybe it’s because she’s all alone in a big city and in desperate need of a lifeline. Or maybe it’s because each exchange leaves her intrigued and more than a little turned on. Still, Monroe never would’ve snarked back if she’d known she was talking to the “Golden Boy” of the Dallas Knights.

Experiencing more than her fair share of tragedy and loss, she had plans for her future, one where failure wasn’t an option. And not just because people and cows were counting on her.

Addictive Blend of Angst and Romance
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level: 🔥🔥🔥
I must admit, I dove into "The Temporary Wife (The Windsors #2)" by Catharina Maura with high expectations after being hooked by the first book in the series. My experience was nothing short of phenomenal, and I'm delighted to award it a well-deserved five-star rating and a heat level of 3.
This is my second encounter with Catharina Maura's writing, and I'm officially addicted. The decision to opt for the audiobook version, narrated by Joe Arden, was a stroke of genius. Arden's voice added layers of depth and emotion to an already captivating story, elevating it to new heights.
The plot revolves around Luca Windsor, a billionaire grappling with an arranged engagement and a sudden job vacancy when his secretary leaves. Enter Valentina, the secretary-turned-temporary wife. What begins as a strategic marriage of convenience soon becomes a journey of passion, heartache, and self-discovery.
Maura has a talent for crafting characters that leap off the page. Luca and Valentina's dynamic is electric, filled with palpable tension and raw emotions. The rules they set for their arrangement—no falling in love, secrecy at work, and sharing a bed—create a delicious tension that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.
What truly sets this book apart is the depth of emotions it evokes. From love and longing to angst and anguish, every emotion is vividly portrayed, making it impossible not to feel invested in Luca and Valentina's tumultuous journey.
In conclusion, "The Temporary Wife" is a must-read for fans of marriage of convenience romances layered with intense emotions. Catharina Maura's storytelling prowess shines brightly, leaving readers craving for more. I eagerly anticipate the next installment in The Windsors series.

Touching and sweet
Such entertaining story, the character had a very strong personality, but the insecurity of Valentina tends to be tiring I was expecting more from the story. Performance of the narrators were good as always.

Great Story
When Luca Windsor’s secretary suddenly quits her job shortly after his family forces him into an unwanted engagement, he sets out to solve both problems by secretly marrying his secretary, Valentina, instead.
It was meant to be a straightforward and mutually beneficial deal, but with each day that passes, it becomes clearer to Luca that the one thing Valentina wants is the only thing he can never do by letting her go.
The struggles they go through to get to their HEA is a wonderful story.
It almost reminds me of Cinderella and her wicked stepmother and stepsister. I loved the ending.
