Sometimes LOVE does find us, but at that particular time, we’re not ready for it. That’s what happens to Wilson Struthers.
Here’s the blurb:
Wilson Struthers is an ambitious attorney who
advances his career by marrying eighteen-year-old Andrea, the boss’ daughter.
Things go according to plan... until Andrea is lost at sea. Seven years later,
Wilson marries again. Then the fun begins!
Now the dilemma: How do I craft this tale so that
when Wilson and Andrea meet seven years later, they don’t recognize each other?
How can I make this story believable?
Ah, that’s the rub! For Andrea, she suffers from
total amnesia of her former life and becomes Anakalia Lawai’a,
and for Wilson, well, let’s just say twenty-five-year-old Andrea looks very
different from his virgin bride.
ONE WIFE TOO MANY was previously published by

Here are some fabulous
reviews:
5 STARS! Some books are
meant to be classics. ONE WIFE TOO MANY is in this category. We are introduced
to the main characters, Andrea and Wilson, as they just get married. Both of
them are making a major mistake. Wilson, to get promoted, and Andrea, to escape
her unloving father. But on the Hawaiian honeymoon night, Andrea’s eyes get
cruelly opened, and she makes another bad choice, only to get swept overboard
in a storm-tossed sea. Her body is never recovered. Seven years pass. Wilson is
a sadder man, filled with regret, but feels it’s time to move on. He remarries.
Then the unthinkable happens: his job sends him back to Hawaii where... ONE
WIFE TOO MANY is a perfect second chance at love story. I thoroughly enjoyed
reading how they met each other again with no recognition, and yet there was
something achingly familiar that they just couldn’t identify. A wonderful treat
for anyone who’s a romantic at heart!--Norwood Reviews
5 STARS! Amazing Book!
After reading The Reluctant Landlord, which I was very impressed with, I decided
to read another one of Susanne's books, One Wife Too Many. She did not
disappoint me with this book either. Both books I thought were terrific. I
would recommend both books to anyone and now I'm going to go onto one of her
other books. I'm picking one of her short stories The Teachers Pet. I'm sure I
will not be disappointed with that either. One Wife Too Many I read in one day
as I could not put it down!--Reader Review
Susanne Marie Knight's
books are always fun, sexy and tender. Her latest, ONE WIFE TOO MANY is all of
the above, a real feel-good story. Andrea is young and innocent when she
marries Wilson, who is an ambitious lawyer in her father's firm. Before the
wedding night, she's lost at sea. He remarries, she survives and their lives
get really complicated.--UP Reviews

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Below are a couple
of tidbits from my life that helped me write this novel. The islands of Hawaii
play a large role in ONE WIFE TOO MANY. During a terrifying storm, Andrea is
swept overboard from the deck of a company yacht in the channel of waters
between Molokai and Maui. I also was violently tossed about in a small yacht
navigating very rough seas. Fortunately, I remained onboard!
Here’s how Wilson (Will) experienced the storm:
Still holding
his drink, Will carefully maneuvered past annoyingly loud slot machines and
equally annoying drunken passengers until he walked out the casino doors.
Once in the
carpeted corridor, he stood a moment to get his bearings. Wrong move. A giant
wave crashed against the starboard side of the ship. Will lost his balance...
and his drink, and smashed into the wall.
While his
crystal tumbler harmlessly bounced on the carpeted floor, the glassware inside
the casino wasn’t as lucky. The tinkling of breaking glass was loud enough to
be heard out in the corridor. Evidently everything that wasn’t nailed down on
the bar counter had slid to the other end, then landed down onto the floor.
What a waste of
booze!
Will grinned,
righted himself and took a step. Another wave crashed into the ship, knocking
him full force him back into the wall.
Damn. The shit
just got kicked out of him. If Andrea had been seasick before, there was no
telling just how badly she was feeling right now. Urgency fueled his movements.
Here’s how Andrea
experienced the storm:
Although
unsteady footing was a problem, she managed to get to the stairway and headed
up one level for the casino deck.
The yacht
personnel were prepared for this type of weather. Little white bags had been
placed on each step by the wall... just in case.
Thank goodness
she didn’t need to use one. Her stomach was behaving nicely. And actually, she
had to admit, it was fun to be thrown from one side of the carpeted wall to the
other.
Andrea grinned.
Maybe now that she was a married woman, she could handle things better than
before.
Here’s how Akaka
Falls fits into the story:
Today was about as perfect
as a day could be. Will thoroughly enjoyed pineapple pancakes for breakfast--an
exotic treat for the palate--the tropical rainforest surrounding Akaka Falls,
and the company.
Especially the company.
Anakalia Lawai’a combined sultry beauty with a naiveté that stoked his growing
desire.
Walking behind her in the
dense jungle and watching her bewitching bottom sway as they’d traveled on a
narrow path to the falls was nearly his undoing.
Or perhaps it was the
primordial surroundings. Any minute he’d expected Tarzan to swing through the
trees with his characteristic yell.
No, his overactive libido
was all due to her.

So now you know part of what happens when Wilson finds out he has ONE WIFE TOO MANY! I hope you enjoy Andrea and Wilson’s book.
