Enjoy Invisible Wife Compiled By Jane Arbor Contained In Copy

was master of a lost art, . .

Tania obeyed her father's last request: she contacted the Venetian glassmakers, the Massimos, And Benno Massimo whisked her away from an empty life in England, bringing her to the family villaas his fiancee,

But Benno was a cheat, and Tania also began to suspect his autocratic brother, the handsome Vicente,

She risked her futureand her heartto find out if Vicente was the man of her dreams, . . or a ruthless fraud. This had such potential as a double revenge plot, but the execution was so muddled that it fell flat,

The story opens with the recently bereaved English heroine overhearing her Italian fiance's phone conversation with his friend, describing his good luck in marrying a clueless girl whose father had perfected a crystal making technique.
He then went on about his mistress and how he would keep her once married, Heroine is naturally upset, but instead of confronting him, she writes him a Dear John letter, leaves it in his room, and goes to pack, As she is sneaking out of the villa with her suitcase, the fiance's brother H catches her and is furious that she would betray

his brother, He won't let her leave until he has spoken to his brother, but the phone rings brother is dead from being hit by a train,

Too bad, so sad,

Heroine still doesn't tell H that his brother was a cheat, only that she didn't love him anymore, Hero wants her to stay in Venice to comfort his stepmother, She agrees because she wants to find out what her father's plans were, but the hero tells her there was nothing about crystal in the fiance's papers, So she seeks out the friend OM her fiance was having the conversation with,

And from there it gets muddled, Hero forces her to marry him to keep her away from the OM, She decides the best way to take revenge on the H for stealing the crystal plans is to marry him and agrees,

Her fiance's OW shows up to make trouble and to flirt with the H.
For awhile it looks like the H and the OW are having an affair,

Meanwhile the h is pregnant and is waiting for the crystal fair to see if her own husband has used her father's ideas that his brother stole from her.
Turns out no the H didn't want that idea, The fiance tried to sell it to cutrate crystal makers behind the Iron Curtain, but wasn't successful, Heroine is happy her husband isn't an idea thief, but she still thinks he's having an affair with the OW,

Hero is stringing the OW along and eventually wears her down and discovers the truth about his brother, He arranges for the h to hear her confession, All the skeletons are out of the closet, they confess their love, and they're both excited about the baby, HEA



Like I said, this was pretty muddled and silly, The H/h had some chemistry but their relationship was overshadowed by all OW and OM maneuvering, Interesting read with some suspense mixed in set in the romantic backdrop of beautiful Venice,

I added this as 'to read' inand it's good to know I finally got to it when it was just what I was looking for.
I cannot resist a mysterious Hero, typical of the genre.

caution: H slaps h once though not the knockherdown type, to shut her up about a supposed affair with Sophia, brother's OW, it's the brother h was engaged to, when she overheard him talking about OW and broke it off Kinda got the impression that he put out a bit to get information from the evil OW.
The h should have gotten as far away as possible from that gene pool,Star for the ridiculous motivations and backstory but the overall romance still got to me, What is wrong with these people that they would marry to punish someone Call me overly modern but in what universe is it OK for a husband to treat his wife as some sort of robot sex toy Useful when he wants and put aside every other time.
Yuck.

Still Jane Arbor manages to make me care about these idiots, Somehow.
