His Other Wife by Margaret Blakd

Publisher: Whiskey Creek Press
ISBN: 978-1-60313-354-8
Genre: Romance

Imagine Owen Hetherington's surprise when he finds out his deceased brother Fabio left a woman the family didn't know a large sum of money. Imagine his
further surprise when he learns who the woman is and maybe why the inheritance came to her. Of course Owen's mother ofjects to the other woman's rights, but is forced to abide by the will.

Owen's trip to New Zealand doesn't confirm their suspicions that the woman
is a gold digger. Far from it, he finds Roxie Rawson to be a hard working woman with a small son. And the explanation for the money becomes self
evident.

Roxie doesn't want the Hetherington money nor them in her life. She tells Owen to just leave her alone. He accedes to her wishes. But, as fate will have it, Roxie must make changes in her life and those changes take her to
England and she learns she has settled near the hated family.

It isn't long before Owen discovers Roxie is working and living near his home. His persistence and the boy's desire to know him better convinces Roxie to allow their relationship to grow. And against her will, she finds
herself fighting to keep her own distance from Owen.

Talented author Margaret Blake tells an interesting tale of two people from diverse backgrounds trying to work out their problems. There are secrets on all sides and an ex wife who has designs on Owen added to the mix.

A tale with warmth, laughter and shared pain that the reader will definitely experience. You will enjoy meeting the complex, very real characters. This
is a romance that rises above the usual plot. For the reader who likes a little spice in their reading, the love scenes seem to be belong in the
story, something that often isn't the case.

I'm pleased to recommend this tale to any romance fan. Enjoy. I did.
