Books like Love's pagan heart by Patricia Matthews
Princess Liliha, born of mixed Hawaiian and English parentage, possesses a striking blend of beauty and innocence that captivates all who encounter her. Though betrothed to a young chieftain, she attracts desire from jealous native men, rough seamen, and missionary figures, each with varying motives. Amid these external pressures, Liliha remains untroubled, maintaining her delicate, natural demeanor while roaming the forest and swimming in the surf. The narrative explores whether her primitive world can withstand the clash of foreign ideas and cultures, and whether love can endure against the forces that threaten her inheritance, body, and soul. Ultimately, a single man named David may hold the key to rescuing her and capturing her pagan heart if she can recognize his value in time.
