THE RAMIREZ BRIDE by Emma Darcy tells the story of the Australian Nick Ramirez the eldest of the three brothers. He is a self made man, rejected by his step father and eschewed by his real father.

So imagine his surprise sixteen years later, on receiving a packet from Brazil from his late father and his obstinate reluctance to open it. The content of the package stunned him as he realised how intimately his late father knew the details of his life.
The task he set him was - ` to find a woman he loved, marry her, have a child and set up family life... to stop flitting aimlessly from woman to woman in an empty relationship' this was the precondition to claiming his inheritance and discovering the identity of his half-brothers. Will Nick comply with the wishes of the father who repeatedly rejected him while he was alive or will his obstinacy and pride prevent him from discovering his half brothers?
