His First Wife

By Grace Octavia

Publisher Description

Reprinted Edition

Kerry Jackson knows exactly where the other woman lives--the one her husband, Jamison, denies exists. He tried to convince Kerry that pregnancy is making her paranoid. But out at 5 A.M., she's determined to catch him in the act. Instead she ends up arrested, wondering how she went from wealthy Atlanta debutante to jilted wife. But the stakes are too high for regrets, even if it means igniting a chain of events that will have shocking consequences for everyone. Because Kerry is Jamison's first wife, and she plans to be his last, even if it means taking her biggest gamble ever.

"Octavia creates a wonderful story of love, betrayal and life." --APOOO Book Club
