About the book
What, Katy wondered, could she do now? She hadn't expected the invitation to cruise on a millionaire's yacht to land her in such a predicament. Because of her late father's disgrace, and her marriage breakup, Katy had used an assumed name. Nobody really knew who she was. So how could she suddenly announce that the yacht's first officer was her estranged husband, Charles Ormond? Four years earlier Charles had rejected the young, spoiled Katy, who couldn't make their marriage work. She had changed, and she still loved him. But what were his feelings for her?
