Frazer's Law
First published 1988 · 384 pages
A tempestuous, sun-drenched clash of wills where the emotional turbulence rivals the tropical storms.
What it feels like
Reading this vintage romance feels like stepping into the eye of a tropical storm—intense, humid, and undeniably dramatic. The narrative moves at a brisk, breathless pace, sweeping the reader into a sun-drenched, isolated world where the Great Barrier Reef serves as a vivid backdrop for an equally turbulent clash of wills. The prose is lush and unapologetically heightened, leaning into the melodramatic flair of the 1980s with adjective-heavy descriptions of both the perilous natural world and the feverish emotional landscape. It is a story of surrendering control, where a fiercely guarded heroine meets an unapologetic alpha male. This book will delight readers who crave the nostalgic, high-stakes passion and intense character dynamics of classic category romance.

Coupled with her sharp scientific mind, it made her research on the Great Barrier Reef a labour of intense love. But if she believed the cyclone she barely survived would cause the greatest upheaval to her 'ultra-private' world - the man who rescued her proved it to be a mere tradewind! Cameron Frazer was magnificent and dangerous - like the sharks he studied. His 'dangerous' attractiveness and something about him said knew something about her...
