In this contemporary romance, a determined writer must create her destiny around a spontaneous sham that lands her in a world of trouble. Vicky West, an exceptionally good looking young blond woman whose lovely face, fine body and bright smile are accouterments to a sharp intellect and an easy going disposition.

Vicky has always known that she was born to be a writer but her path to being one has not been easy. All she needs is a break to prove her talent. She quits her job at the Airline, says goodbye to Minneapolis and moves to Paris, then London and eventually to New York City.

Many writers stretch the truth at times but what Vicky does is unmatched in its audacity. It was crazy to attempt to take it all the way and that is just what she told herself at the beginning. How could she ever hope to get away with it? And could she fool the one man who is wily enough to see though her guise?

It has been decades since World War 11 ended but Joe King is still wrestling with his vivid memories and hatred for his old enemy. It is the spring of 1974 in New Zealand when Joe receives word that his son, Tony, is coming home. He is excited and happy but Joes world changes in an instant when Tony steps off the plane with his new wife, Tamiko.

When Joe---who is known for being a good man with a generous heart---is suddenly forced to face his animosity for the Japanese, his anger implodes, taking over every aspect of his life. As they move into an uncertain future no one knows how long it will last but as their lives slowly intertwine Joe and Tamiko realize that life has other plans for them.

The marriage is the poignant tale of two lost souls as they come together to fulfill anothers wishes to let go of the past and find true happiness.
