Pagan Heart

Kalinda was Christie Irvine's dream come true -- almost! She'd inherited her uncle's Pacific Island home and business -- but she'd inherited problems as well. She could learn about shells and coral and island living -- but what could she do about Matt Denham?

The only other inhabitant of the island, he'd made it clear that he could do without her company. 'Listen, Christie,' he warned, 'You're not in love with me. You're in love with love; with the idea of living here, playing at primitive house. Don't break your heart over it, Christie. There's no future in it.'

For Christie, the warning came much, much too late!

Mills & Boon

When Christie inherited her uncle's shell trading business on the pacific coral island of Kalinda everyone said she was crazy to go there to run it herself. But she had no idea of the problems she had to face, or that the only other inhabitant of her island was the formidable Matt Denham, who lost no time in making it clear that he could do without her company. Unfortunately, Christie soon found that she couldn't do without his, and by then it was too late, for -- according to the lovely Melanie Haydon -- Matt wasn't free. Christie knew only too well that, as Matt himself had said, there was no future in loving him -- but could she ever stop hoping...?
