About the book
Miranda hadn’t married Jaime Knevett for love; in fact she hardly knew him, and she had never liked what little she had know – but her mother needed help and this was the only way Miranda could provide it. In fact it had never been a true marriage and the two of them had parted almost immediately after the wedding. All that had been four years ago, but now Miranda was thinking of marrying Paul Courtenay, so here she was in Brazil, to meet Jaime once again to ask for an annulment. But Jaime was still a man to be reckoned with; even if he would agree to the end of their marriage, could Miranda be absolutely sure, now, that that was what she really wanted?
