Publisher's summary

Jane's rule about marriage: if at first you don't succeed, don't try again.

A bigamist ex-husband, an anonymous stalker, a murder inquiry. Magazine editor Jane Hamilton is not having a good month. But with the support of her best friend, Brad Manchester, she's coping--until they become lovers and Brad complicates things even more by proposing marriage.

Brad understands Jane's fears, but he's ready for a wife and family, ready to move forward. Especially when he finds out she's pregnant with his child.

Critic reviews

“Combining her usual superb sense of characterization with a realistically gritty plot, Quinn has created an exceptionally powerful book.” ( Booklist on Behind Closed Doors)

Unexpected twist

Would you listen to The First Wife again? Why?

I would listen to it again - because sometimes you miss key points when listening while working.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Brad - because he didnt give up or stop being a friend to the one woman he loved.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not good at all

This story seems like it has so much potential and it never gets there! A whinny heroine and a guy that loves her. The story goes on & on and it could be done in 2 hrs!
Don't buy!
