Guilty! Of loving a married man... Nickie's been in love with Miguel Aldabe--secretly, hopelessly in love--for as long as she can remember. Hopelessly because Miguel, who belongs to Nevada's close-knit Basque community, has been trapped in an arranged marriage. But Nickie did nothing to compromise that marriage! She even left the state.... Now she learns that, despite his family's opposition, Miguel has initiated divorce proceedings. His wife, Marieli, is countersuing, bringing a charge of adultery against him--and Nickie! Nickie's horrified by the charge and shocked by what she discovers in the courtroom--about Miguel, about Marieli, about their marriage. She's also shocked to discover that her feelings for Miguel haven't changed. What happens once the trial is over? Will he ask her to be his second wife--his true wife?

(REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Bride Of My Heart (Harlequin Romance) (Paperback)

This story has a bit of a split personality. The first part is quite tedious, as Nickie, the heroine, is called home to testify in the divorce proceedings initiated by her first love, Miguel, against his wife (via an arranged marriage) Marieli. But (HUGE, GIGANTIC SPOILER) the divorce is actually a plot between Miguel and Marieli, who both want out of the marriage. So they get out, and Nickie and Miguel get together . . .

Anyhow, wade through all that if you can; the real thrill of this book lies in the wealth of information it provides on Basque culture, and especially Basque culture in the United States. At the same time, the love story between Miguel and Nickie provides some vividly tender moments that are beautiful on their own. Check it out.
