An Excellent Wife? (Man Talk)

Wanted: a wife of convenience James had never been in love. He intended to marry a woman who didn't make demands, or wouldn't change his life. So why did he find Patience Kirby so attractive? She certainly wasn't his idea of marriage material! For one thing, she was a sparky redhead, while he'd always preferred cool blondes. For another, he was used to a peaceful, elegant lifestyle, and Patience's home was full of kids, old people and animals; noise, warmth and caring.... But in order to have her in his bed, did James have to make Patience his wife?
