Waitangi Nights — Alice Gaines

With her meager inheritance almost gone, young Isabel Gannon had little hope but to stake her future on a risky gamble. Accepting an offer originally meant for her late father, the lovely botanist agreed to accompany a shipment of wild orchids to the lush New Zealand home of the darkly handsome Richard Julian. There she was determined to nurture the precious plants--and resist the lure of her employer's strong arms.

But even as Isabel felt herself blossom beneath Richard's tender touch, she sensed something else lurking on the exotic estate. A strange cry in the night, a mysterious light -- something sinister that threatened to nip her newfound happiness in the bud. Now Isabel would have to unravel a web of secrets if she wanted to preserve their halcyon days and savor the passion of their wild... Waitangi Nights.
