False Paradise — Lydia Lancaster

In lush Jamaica, Noelle loved a rugged sea captain - and faced a most bewitching rival!

Then at a glittering Kingston ball, Noelle aroused the envy of every lady when she caught the fancy of Simon Spencer, a gallant New England mariner. In his eyes was the promise of a lifelong passion, and in his tender embrace, the strength that would keep him true. But Vanessa's wild, jealous passion was more powerful and more dangerous than anyone dreamed. Soon Noelle and Simon were on a perilous trek -- to save their lives, their hopes, and the happiness they were meant to share!
