About the book
"I will marry the first man who asks!" Sara made her reckless statement in a moment of hurt and pique after being jilted by Cliff. And for better or worse, the man listening asked her. Rede Forrest had said her desire to "show" her ex-fiance suited his own plans. He needed a wife. And for reasons she couldn't quite explain to herself, Sara rashly accepted his offer. But once married to Rede--and savoring her new life in Singapore--all thoughts of Cliff were wiped out of her mind!
