Block Island. She thought of it as her island.
Elizabeth Dale-Jones-gallery proprietor, amateur photographer. all-around dilettante. and local heiress-was certain of two things: No one was going to put up a hotel that blocked her parents' view of the Atlantic. and no one was going to bring casino gambling to her unspoiled island paradise. She was determined to stop Tom Atkins. He was a self-made man. and she was sure he had sinister plans. But she hadn't expected him to be an absolute hunk. And shed assumed a great deal else besides. It would take a night in the local lockup. a touch of arson. the arrival of bitter winter winds, and a hint of heartbreak to awaken Elizabeth to the facts about Tom. about real life- and about love.
