Hibiscus Lagoon — Dorothy Dowdell

It was a long way from snowbound Minnesota to the tropical blue skies and volcanoes of Pago Pago. When Thayer Elwood arrived to help her uncle run his banana plantation, she never dreamed that his sudden death would make her sole owner of Seacrest.

Eiland von Kuhrt, owner of the island's largest plantation, was more than willing to help her find her way in a strange new world. He was the most domineering man she had ever met, yet his classic looks and magnetic presence bewitched her. Did he love her, or was she merely the means to get possession of Seacrest? How could she know if love or heartbreak awaited her in the orchid-scented night?

Hero: Eiland von Kuhrt
