Temptation in paradise
Smart, sexy, successful Laura Murdock never mastered the fine arts of loving and trusting. Taking a well-deserved vacation from her work at a Detroit women s crisis center, she s prepared for three glorious weeks in the Virgin Islands. What she s not ready for is Wilham Sebastian Kramer.
A brilliant artist, Wilham is pure magic as bold and bewitching as his remarkable paintings. When Laura agrees to pose for him, she realizes she s stoking a fire too hot for either of them to control. So she runs from his arms, driven away from quite possibly the perfect man by a lifetime of cruel lessons.
But the flame will not die and the memory of their sweet and sultry island magic haunts her sleepless nights, tempting her back. Yet Laura is far too wise and much too stubborn to admit she desires this man with all her soul. After all, she knows pain and heartbreak always follow surrender . . . don t they?"
