He married her for convenience. He found himself falling for her in truth.

Ethan Morgens lives by routine, discipline, and contracts — including the one he signs to marry Ayanda, a spirited young woman from Khayelitsha, in exchange for mutual benefit. It's just a temporary arrangement. No love. No strings. No future.

But as laughter fills the house, hearts soften, and Ayanda's spark breaks through Ethan's structured world, something begins to shift. Love tiptoes in. Slowly. Powerfully. Unexpectedly.

Yet both Ayanda and Ethan must wrestle with fears, secrets, and their very different worlds. What happens when real feelings enter a fake marriage? Can two people from opposite sides of society find a home in each other — not out of need, but from the truth of their hearts?

Temporary Wife is an emotionally rich story of transformation, resilience, cultural harmony, and love that grows beyond borders — a tale that reminds us that sometimes, the most unexpected relationships write the most beautiful chapters.
