The perfect wife

by Jane Goodger (Blackwood)

It takes a perfect love to break an imperfect heart. An outsider among Newport's graceful debutantes, modest Anne Foster was the perfect choice to fulfill the desires of at least one man.

Until she was abandoned and discovered her first love's true nature... In a world where beauty defines society, the perfect wife has devised the perfect revenge: become a jewel among her peers, draw her errant husband back into her arms... and break his heart. Yet nothing is as simple as it seems -- and the secrets that once destroyed a perfect love, may be the very secrets that can save it...
