The Saint's Wife

Strong-arm tactics are no match for the power of love.

Chris McQuaid is dying, and David Lamont will move mountains to fulfill his best friend's last request-to have his estranged wife by his side until the end. A more spiteful, spoiled, callous woman never lived, but David agrees to talk her into it.

Joanna McQuaid reached her breaking point a long time ago, but she couldn't break things off permanently. Oppressive, manipulative and toxic as Chris is, she can't divorce him without becoming a pariah for abandoning the pillar of the community in his final days. That doesn't mean she has to lay eyes on him, though-until David masterfully plays on her last shred of guilt. After all, what kind of woman breaks a dying man's heart?

David congratulates himself for successfully dragging Joanna home, until he learns who really mistreated whom...and how far Chris's betrayal goes. As they unexpectedly draw on each other for strength, Joanna and David discover something more. Something neither of them knew they needed.

Warning: Contains two people who have been way too strong for way too long, a whole lot of justifiably broken vows, and three hearts who are running out of time to find forgiveness.
