When Lovers Meet

the long version

Her island paradise had been invaded Jilly, recently widowed, knew it was time to reenter the world. So she crewed on a boat sailing from England to the West Indies, and now she was house-sitting there for an absent friend. It was idyllic. Until the day she found a devastating stranger in the house making himself at home. She was at once horrified - and powerfully attracted. Edouard Forster, the black-sheep brother of her friend, insisted that the house had plenty of room for two. True, thought Jilly, but did her scarred heart have plenty of room for love?
