Plot Summary of The Seduction of His Wife
"Alex Knight has just come back from South America. When he gets to his house he finds it locked and a female inside. The woman is Sarah Banks and she is the wife of Alex Knight. It is just that she married him by proxy thinking he was dead and Alex Knight has never met her. Sarah married Alex to keep his in-laws from taking his children away from their home. Alex had a bad previous marraige and does not want another one. The first night he is home he becomes drunk and ends up in Sarahs bed. They make love while they are asleep and once he wakes up he is very upset and wants her gone. He kicks her out of the house and only hours later goes to look for her because he feels guilty.
Alex begins to beleive that Sarah is nothing like his previous wife and he wants to keep her. Sarah on the other hand had a horrible previous marriage and does not want to stay married to a virle passionate man. She just wants to open a camp for kids and live out her life alone.
Mean while Sarah accedently came across drug smugglers and now she is in trouble. Also things start happening on the resort. Things are breaking and stuff is disappearing. It is all because of these smugglers and they now have Sarah in their sights."
