I really enjoyed this story, especially the last third of it.  Wife in Name Only by Hayson Manning is a suspenseful romance with sizzling heat. I found the first half a little slow and repetitive, but the rest kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end.This is the story of Zoe and Rory.  Zoe owns and manages a successful honeymoon resort on the island of Tonga. Rory is a very wealthy business tycoon and is always seeking the next "big" deal. He lives in Los Angeles.  They are married but have been separated for a year.The world thinks that Zoe and Rory are happily married, which is a huge draw for business at the resort. Zoe has agreed to have her resort and happy marriage featured in a prominent travel magazine.  Reluctantly, she calls her husband and asks him to help her out.  He agrees, knowing this positive publicity will undoubtedly help his unpopular reputation in the corporate world.Due to an impending hurricane, Rory's short visit is extended. The storyline continues with Zoe and Rory spending time together on the island.  They begin to love each other all over again.  Unfortunately, Zoe may be in some danger and Rory can't help but protect her.The author's descriptions of the landscapes, characters and actions are brilliant.  This is a good read.
