His Paycheck, Her Pennies

Logan Carter wants a marriage that works. He handed his whole paycheck to his mother Linda Graves every month, and his wife Elena Hart lived on the small amount left over for her, three years of it, until her stomach gave out from the strain and she collapsed. When Logan asks his mother where the money went, he finds out that more than a million of it has been passed to his sister and her husband and spent. He changes the account his salary goes into, cooks for Elena and looks after her, and files suit against his family. In the middle of this he learns he was adopted, and he tracks down his birth mother, who is seriously ill. Elena backs him and he pays for her surgery. Elena's parents had thought very little of him. Watching him draw the line between caring for a parent and doing whatever a parent says, they change their minds about him and invite him into their company, the Hart Group.
