Maddy Osbourne's first encounter with Hugo Griffin could not have been more embarrassing. It got worse when he was flying her to her godmother's house on St Vincent and engine trouble forced him to bring his sea-plane down in the lagoon of the uninhabited Paradise Island.
With no radio they are forced to fend for themselves until someone sends out a search party to rescue them. Meanwhile, Griff isn't a man to do all the work while a woman he'd decided is a pampered and ill-manner rich girl sits back and waits for him to wait on her.
He had her so wrong! Maddy knew what it was to be poor and she'd worked hard to build up her own business, but she'd never fished for her own supper and the bivouac she'd built for herself collapses in the middle of the night.
She gradually wins Griff round with her determination not to rely on him for anything but, just as paradise seems within reach, she discovers that he's been lying to her.
Maddy has been lied to before and once she realises she has a way off the island she makes a bid for freedom.
Will her escape bid end in disaster? Will her heart be broken all over again or can Griff persuade her to return to paradise?
From the moment they meet, Maddy and Griff have sparks flying … sparks of dislike! The plot has them at each others throats a lot, but they can’t deny the attraction they feel for very long. A fun read!
Maddy Osborne has worked hard for what she has, and when bad timing leads Hugo Griffin to think that she’s a mean and rude person, she is bothered by that. He keeps twisting things that she says and makes it clear he thinks she’s not worthy of his attention. When he is tasked with flying her to her godmother’s house, the plane has engine problems and they are forced to make an emergency landing on Paradise Island.
Griff isn’t planning to let this pampered princess sit on her duff and have him wait on her while they are on this deserted island fending for themselves. He sets out to teach her what hard work is all about, but before long, he’s realizing she’s not exactly what he thought she was … and about the time he’s starting to fall for her, she discovers the secrets he’s been keeping!
