Tangle in Sunshine

An absorbing romance with the magical background of West Africa. Flowers, spicy smells, a black ceiling painted with stars, blue mists in the forest, the thick, warm mysterious river and bright parakeets shrieking among the trees. To all this Tessa flies out from England to attend her cousin Raine's wedding, only to find Raine dithering between her old love and a new one.

Tessa had flown out to Nigeria to attend her cousin Raine's wedding to Edward Grimshaw. She liked Edward and was looking forward to all the fun of planning the wedding -- so she was horrified to find on arrival that Raine was dithering towards being off with her old love, and only deterred by the fact that she was not yet quite on with new, the overwhelming David Calvering. Was it entirely on Edward's account that Tessa found himself hoping that Raine would settle for him after all?
