Capa mole

When her guardian, attorney Jonathon Holmes, is lost overboard on their voyage from England to Hawaii, Noreen Kathleen Doherty has no choice but to continue on and fulfill their mission-- to find the grandson and heir to Sir Henry, a client of Mr. Holmes. Sir Henry's son is presumed dead and his only heir is half-English, half-Hawaiian Kent Mallory. She knows that if she can convince him to return to England with her she will be able to civilize him and turn him into a proper English gentleman. Kent Mallory has no intention of going to England. His father, Lt. William Miles-- now Miles Mallory, is alive but gave up his real identity many years ago. When Noreen arrives, Kent pretends to be the heather she thinks he is, behaving like a simple child. Convinced that she will eventually give up and leave him alone, Kent unwittingly charms Noreen with his Hawaiian good looks and gallantry. But Kent is not immune to Noreen-- he has always thought English women were straightlaced and proper, but Noreen is wild and headstrong. She reminds him of the volcano goddess, Pele. Noreen is determined to return to England with Kent and leave the primitive island and strange food behind. But when her stay is extended and she agrees to teach the natives, she learns to like the people and their unique culture. Still, her sense of duty won't allow her to go back on her promise. She's falling in love with Hawaii-- and it's native son, Kent. But will the love that blossomed in tropical paradise be able to flourish in England?Linda Windor's Island Flame tantalizes and teases!
