About the book
He'd been portrayed as Sir Galahad... But that was the view of David Llewellyn's doting aunt. To Shelly, this much-touted airline pilot was no more than a sarcastic, self-righteous chauvinist! She'd come to the tiny Caribbean island of Nevis to give physiotherapy treatments to his arthritic Aunt Jessica. Had she realized Nevis was also David's home she'd never have come. Now she faced his daily barrage of accusations--she was a kook, a con lady, even a tramp! She also had to face the fact that fury was not the only feeling David stirred in her.
