About the book
He spoiled her holiday
Instead of enjoying the luxurious cruise Gail was miserable and confused--thanks to Stuart Landon.
From the captain's dining table to onshore excursions around the fascinating Canary Islands, her relationship with Stuart grew from mutual irritation to outright hostility. Yet Gail felt strangely drawn to the irascible fellow passenger.
When she finally realized that she had lost her heart to this impossible man, Gail had another problem. Stuart was engaged--to a woman who had become Gail's friend.
