A MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE

“They were two strangers with nothing in common except their love for a child. And that was enough to lead them into taking a great risk.”

Succesful businesswoman Chris Winslow gives up her career to raise her deceased sister's son, Kevin. Eight years later, she must contend with the boy's father who was unaware of his son's existence. Prompted by a wise judge, they decide to enter into a marriage of convenience in order to not upset the child, though they soon find that they may just be in love after all.
