Publisher's Synopsis
Amy Donahue comes from a long line of betrayed women. So when her husband Peter leaves his wedding ring behind on a business junket to Bermuda, that's all it takes to inflame Amy's doubts and fears. Fanning the flames is her spinster aunt, Greta - a New Age sorceress - who warns Amy not to go ahead with the couple's plans to have a child until she can prove to herself that Peter would never cheat on her. But how? Greta proposes a plan: using her magical powers, she will transform Amy into Peter's unconscious ideal of beauty. Thus transformed - and utterly unrecognizable - Amy will follow Peter to Bermuda and try to seduce him. If he succumbs, she will leave him; if he resists, she will stay with him and begin a family. Amy agrees. Soon, traveling in her new guise as "Amanda," she arrives in Bermuda and attracts Peter's notice - drawing on her intimate knowledge of him to not only look like the "woman of his dreams," but to speak and act the part as well. After all, who knows what a man really wants in a woman ... better than his wife? A piquant blend of romantic comedy, fantasy, and farce, The Woman of His Dreams is a daringly original - and wickedly funny - look at the perennial themes of fidelity and trust in marriage.
