About the book
He was the man for her. Surely he could see that!
Kit Lacey exuded a passionately artistic nature well beyond her nineteen years. But in Queensland's tiny, tropical Eden Cove no man existed to match her lust for life, until international news correspondent Thorne Stratton invaded her private paradise.
Suddenly Kit felt she had crashed into some dangerous force field. Nothing in her experience had prepared her for this man's magnetism.
Yet, despite Thorne's intense interest in her life, he kept a physical distance between them - much to Kit's confusion and frustration!
