About the book
Her love must remain a bitter secret ... Living on the exotic island of Capri, and in love with the handsome Kent Sanderby, Althea should have been in the seventh heaven of delight. And she would have been -- if she had any reason to suspect that Kent felt the same way about her. But he had eyes only for Carla, Althea's tempestuous friend. And Carla was determined that no charming, blond English girl should distract him.
