The Prodigal Wife (to Have & to Hold)

I been looking forward to reading this book and I enjoy reading this series of To Have And To Hold . I enjoy the characters and their story they are telling me.

Back cover reads: A marriage worth waiting for... The last time Lainey saw Gabe Patton was five years ago--as they were exchanging their marriage vows! It had been a dream wedding...until Lainey discovered that Gabe had only married her for convenience. She was left with no choice but to run away. Now Lainey has uncovered a secret, and she's shocked to realize that she might have misjudged her husband. She still loves Gabe, and hopes they might pick up where they left off--on their wedding night! But how will Gabe react when his prodigal wife returns?

Lainey left Gabe on their wedding day, when she learned from her mother Gabe married Lainey for her ranch, and the money that came with it.Five years later Lainey's mother dies,and Lainey finds out her Mother had lied to her, and spent all of the money Lainey had received from her father, and that it wasn't alot of money.Gabe didn't what to make out of Lainey showing up just year a few months before she would come into all of her money she though he was after.When she asked him to forgive her, Gabe felt she was just trying to find out how much she could take him for. But he waited and watched. Sure enough Lainey was telling the truth, and he loved her more now than before. Lainey took the ragging of Gabe's hired help, and a woman who had been mean to her since she was little.Lainey hung in there until she convinced Gabe she was serious, and Gabe came through with flying colors.Susan Fox writes a delightful story.
