The Temporary Wife

By: Lakshmi Palecanda

Narrated by: Gauri Kuber

A contract marriage meant to end—until love rewrites the terms. Sindhu Rani has spent years being unwanted and labelled as bad luck. When an unexpected proposal from Raja comes her way, she seizes it as a chance for independence—even if it means that she must eventually let him go. Raja has everything—wealth, power, and a past he’d rather forget. Thrust into a marriage he never wanted, he has no intention of making it last. But fate has other plans. Forced to play their roles to perfection, they navigate a world of opulence, deception, and jealousy. But hidden emotions and unexpected challenges begin to undo their carefully set boundaries. As the line between duty and desire blur, only one question remains– When the year ends, will they walk away as planned—or fight for the love they never saw coming?©2025 Lakshmi Palecanda (P)2025 HubHawks
