About the book
Savanna was a beautiful, successful model girl — what could be a more decisive mark of success than to appear on the cover of Vogue? — and her forthcoming marriage to Jago Kindersley, the dynamic, charming, wildly attractive millionaire, was certainly going to be the wedding of the year. But whether or not it would!ead to a happy marriage was another thing. For although Savanna had been in love with Jago from the start, he had made it clear that his reasons for marrying her had nothing to do with that emotion! Was Savanna making a terrible mistake?
