Wayward Love

Reluctant Heiress…

If Lorna Palmer hadn't been so in love with Bruce Hedrick she might have been thrilled to hear that she had inherited an orange grove. But under the eccentric terms of her Aunt Margaret's will, Lorna must live on the property for three months without seeing any of her friends—without even telling them where she was-before the inheritance became truly hers…and three months away from Bruce could mean losing him to another woman. Reluctantly, then, Lorna headed for Centerville, Florida—which turned out to be not half as bad as she'd expected, in no time she was making new friends—like boyishly attractive Jarvis Andrews, the young man who managed her grove—and feeling more and more at home…until Bruce found her. When he asked her to elope with him, something that would have made her deliriously happy only weeks before, she hesitated; it would mean losing the grove. But shouldn't the sacrifice be worth it…in exchange for Bruce's love?
