Almost Eden — Marsha McCarrick

Their marriage was only days away but instead of happiness, Gloria felt confused and anxious. First, her former lover had flown to the lush island of Guadeloupe to declare his undying devotion to her and, strangely, she felt the embers of love flame into passion. Then her fiance's first wife had come to her breathing words of unspeakable scandal. Suddenly Gloria's dreams of happiness were shattered, leaving her without hope... without love.
