What if the man you married was never who he claimed to be?

The Expedient Wife is a female-led international espionage thriller blending romantic suspense, hidden identities, and a deadly conspiracy.

Attorney Quinn Durand has spent years guarding her heart after a humiliating failed wedding. Then Harrison Robicheaux, a charismatic military man, sweeps her into a whirlwind romance filled with lavish trips and promises that feel too perfect to question.

When Harris proposes during a romantic getaway, Quinn says yes. Weeks later, she leaves her career behind and travels to Türkiye to join him. Instead of a reunion, she learns that her husband has supposedly died in a military helicopter crash while accused of stealing classified intelligence. Worse, authorities suspect she helped him.

Stranded in a web of conspiracy and lies, Quinn races through Istanbul’s shadowy underworld, pursued by intelligence agencies, criminals, and enemies she cannot identify. As she uncovers her husband’s secret life, she begins to suspect that every detail of their relationship was carefully orchestrated.

To survive, Quinn must discover why Harris chose her, expose the truth, and decide whether any part of their marriage was real.

For readers drawn to strong female leads, marriage built on deception, international conspiracies, and suspense where love and trust become dangerous risks.
