Marry in Haste

"Ladd Redbrook had never told Pauline he loved her, not even after their wedding as they sat at their first honeymoon dinner in the little Bermuda hotel. But she loved him so much, she was so overwhelmed by her romantic passion, that she had never really noticed. That night she discovered that Ladd had never loved her, that he had married her for her father's money, that he was deeply in love with another woman. Pauline, her love in ruins, crept down from their room, took a rowboat from the slip, and started out to sea, seeking solitude and an escape and some answer to a life which suddenly seemed worthless. The next morning, nearly drowned, she was picked up by Blake Thorpe in his yacht. Blake was an ex-convict. He, too, was seeking an escape, though a different one. And these two people, deeply unhappy, found that they shared at least one thing together---cowardice. Both of them were running away from a world they didn't have the courage to face. What was Ladd Redbrook to do? Married to one woman and in love with another. How was Pauline to solve the problem of marriage to a man who loved someone else? Where was Blake Thorpe to get the courage to face a society which spurned him because he had paid for a youthful crime? The dramatic tangle of this situation, the whirlpool of emotions, make MARRY IN HASTE a swift and captivating novel."
