First I want to say that I absolutely loved the fact that there was quite a bit of humor mixed in with this historical romantic mystery.This book first finds Marian in the motel room where her husband, Jean had been found murdered. As if that isn't bad enough, she then finds out that she wasn't his only wife. In fact, there are two other wives, and that one of them is actually the suspect in her husbands murder. Now she must not only deal with the fact that her husband is dead, although their relationship in her mind, had already been dead, for much of the twelve years that they'd been married, but she must also deal with the her late husband's estate and his other two wives.Marian discovers that she is actually the legal wife and that her and her children will be taken care of. She is actually given Jean's half of the shipping company to run along side of his business partner, Louis. Louis, as well as most others, don't think that it's a woman's place to run a business, but that she should actually be at home taking care of her children and the household. Marian is determined to show them otherwise!Sadly enough, Jeans' death couldn't have come at a better time in the eyes of Louis, as he is trying to get out of the shipping business and wants to sell his half. He figures that he can easily talk Marian into selling her half of the business, because he assumes that she thinks the same way as he does, that a woman would want nothing to do with running a business. But, he ends up just as surprised as he is wrong in this assumption.While Marian and Louis are forced to work together, they actually start to fall for each other.  They are both very surprised by this very fact, and try to go against their feelings at first. But, as you and I know, this so often doesn't work. The way Sylvia McDaniels writes is amazing. I loved the way Marian and Louis go about slowly growing their relationship.I don't want to give anymore of this book away, but I do want to recommend it to you with high regards.
