About the book
Audrey was thrilled when her godfather announced that he was treating her to a Mediterranean cruise. But it appeared, as time went on, that he had had an ulterior motive in doing so—he wanted her to marry Damon Grivas. Which was something Audrey had to admit she wouldn't mind considering—if she hadn't seen only too clearly that another woman would always come first with Damon..
