Publisher Description
RM Johnson, the Essence bestselling author of Dating Games and The Harris Family, delivers an absorbing and provocative novel about the lowdown schemes and broken dreams that follow a fractured marriage.
Successful business entrepreneur Nate Kenny is thrilled to marry the beautiful and intelligent Monica, chiefly because it means he can at last fulfill his lifelong dream of having a family. They wait to try for three years and when they finally do, the couple discovers that she is unable to bear children. Any love he once felt for Monica is gone and Nate wants out of the marriage. But he’s worried about losing half of his sixty-million-dollar fortune in a divorce settlement. Desperate for an out, he searches for a way to exploit the infidelity clause in the couple’s prenuptial agreement.
Enter Lewis Waters. With his baby's mother addicted to drugs, Lewis is already seriously down on his luck when he accidentally smashes his car into Nate’s Bentley. Without auto insurance or any way to pay for the repairs, Lewis is at the end of his financial rope. But the scheming Nate sees another way for the attractive young man to repay his debt: as sexual bait for Monica. Nate sets up Lewis with all of the accessories he believes Lewis will need to earn Monica's love, or at the very least, her lust: a big house, a fancy car, expensive clothes, and a full bank account. But as is often the case when it comes to matters of the heart, things don’t unfold according to plan. When Monica falls hard for Lewis, Nate panics—was protecting his fortune more important than trying to save his marriage? As he finds himself overwhelmed by second thoughts, Nate is willing to do anything to get Monica back.
An inspired fusion of realism and romance, The Million Dollar Divorce is an unpredictable caper of lust, betrayal, and family ties.
Customer Reviews
Page turner for sure!
This was the first book my husband and I read together when we first started dating and we absolutely fell in love with this book. We were eager to continue reading the other books that followed along. It is very easy to read and entertaining!
Great Read
This book was amazing!!!! A client referred it and I couldn't put it down. I read this book in a day and a half.
Enjoyable-ish… mostly. But contrived and poorly written
This book is an easy read, but it’s dumb. Contrived and immature with flat and mostly unlikable characters. It’s as if a teenager tried to write a book about rich people being married. The author demonstrates that she has no understanding of adult relationships or business. Don’t waste your time on this book, unless you’re on a scavenger hunt to find the wrong form of “your/you’re” used in a published novel.
