Second Wife

Second Wife is a romance novel by the American writer Jayne Ann Krentz, issued by Silhouette in this printing of 216 pages, ISBN 9780373471539, dated 1986.

Eight months before the book begins, Flynn Rammage was in the middle of a broken marriage and angry with everybody, and he took his feelings out on the people around him. That did not stop him falling for Heather Devany, and it did not stop him leaving her when the situation became difficult. Now he is standing on her doorstep asking for another chance, and she has no interest in being treated that way twice. Flynn has just been granted custody of his young son, which is the complication: Heather cannot tell whether he wants her or a reliable person to look after the child. The novel works through what he has to demonstrate before she will believe him. What convinces Heather in the end is the explanation Flynn gives about what he actually came back for, and the forgiveness she settles on is the subject the book is named after.
