House on Flamingo Cay

the long version

Angela Gordon was glamorous and ambitious, and determined not to live for ever in London in near-poverty. When she and her sister inherited an unexpected legacy, she persuaded Sara to spend it on a luxury trip to the Bahamas, where she felt sure that she at least would find a rich husband. So they flew off to the romantic, sunny Caribbean, and in no time Angela's hopes were justified when a young American millionaire fell in love with her. But Stephen Rand, the owner of the hotel where they had established themselves, seemed more attracted by Sara's quieter charms - and Sara soon realised that she was returning his love. But she had led him to believe she was a rich Society girl, and sooner or later she would have to confess the truth. Would it mean the end of everything between them?
