The Orchid Tree — Virginia Coffman

Tracie Berenson was as beautiful and exotic as the lush paradise she called home. Raised on her family's plantation in Hawaii, Tracie stood out among the natives with her creamy porcelain skin and sand-colored hair. While growing up, the world was hers for the asking -- and if there was one thing Tracie Berenson wanted, it was power. She was eager to assume responsibility for the family-run sugar company -- until Bill Dempster came to the island. She knew she couldn't trust him, yet he stole her heart with one kiss...

Bill Dempster, was above all else, a smart businessman. He saw an opportunity too tempting to resist -- to break open Hawaii's sugar cane business. But for the only time in his successful career, his heart would be his biggest obstacle. From their first kiss, Bill knew he would be overcome by the heat of his desire for Tracie. He would trade all of his wealth and might for a night in her arms...

From cold business boardrooms to hot beaches and secluded coves, THE ORCHID TREE is a searing story of love, betrayal and power!
