Ex-wives

the long version

"A year after the tragic death of her husband, Kate Nichols, still overwhelmed by grief, meets Richard Marshall. A divorced father of two, Richard's messy involvement with his bi-polar ex-wife troubles Kate but, despite these obstacles, her feelings for him are too intense to stop herself falling in love. Meanwhile, as Kate's father battles with the final stages of cancer, her divorced mother has found a new love in Ben. But Kate's suspicions are roused as her mother's behaviour becomes increasingly furtive. When the truth about her mother and Ben is revealed Kate finds herself unavoidably embroiled and is unable to share her secret. Her father is dying, Richard is taken up with his ex-wife; Kate fears losing him and feels her whole world is beginning to crumble."--Dust jacket.
