My Big Fake Green-Card Wedding
Mollie Molay

I Do…For Now.She might be the last twenty-nine-year-old virgin in Greece, but Melina Kostos did not need her overprotective father and brothers handpicking her husband! So when American businessman and single dad Adam Blake proposed a convenient marriage on her terms, she accepted. By Zeus, their bargain gave her everything she wanted: a gold band, a little girl to love and a green card.So why wasn't it enough?Because Melina wanted to break her no-touching-in-private rule and make her husband her first. Because she didn't want to be just a child's friend, she wanted to have Adam's babies. Because she wanted the whole thing–big fat Greek wedding and all!

Her conscience reminded her that the marriage was only a charade for the benefit of the United States immigration authorities.

But desire told her that, after all, they were married. She wondered how it would feel to share the longing inside for someone of her own to love and to cherish. To honor the vows she’d made to Adam…

And to our two wonderful daughters,

Elaine Fox and Joy Steinhardt.

Love you lots,
