The Enchanting Island — Kathryn Blair (1)

Claire escaped to an island paradise...

The island of Santa Catarina was so picturesque. Claire knew that the sorrow of her mother's death would soon be soothed by the isle's loveliness. She was delighted that she had come.

Until Manuel de Castro, conde of the island, came into her life. He was loved by his people -- a man of strength, generosity, gentleness.

But he had closed his heart to women -- including Claire, who was falling in love with him. "All who are in love are foolish," he said, and maybe he was right!
