A Summer Place

Ramon Evelien’s unexpected arrival drenches Dr. Larke Christi in all the hot, forbidden memories of a love affair that was branded into the fabric of her being...memories of two men to whom she was bound forever in both body and soul. Yet only one of them had claimed her young heart as well. Has this man come back for her, or for something else...something she’s kept safe, as well as secret, for ten long years?

There was a place, a summer place, a sultry island paradise where Larke had felt safe, and warm, and loved. Ramon had been a wild island boy when she’d met him, the total opposite of his best friend, Andries Diedrick. It was Ramon with whom she had fallen head over heels in love that summer, but that hadn’t stopped her from also finding pleasure in the arms of Andries. For those few, short weeks, the three of them had been inseparable, sharing a once-in-a-lifetime passion that ran wild and rampant like the surging Caribbean sea beneath the blazing sun.

But a lot has happened since that searing summer, and Larke has put the past behind her. Yet Ramon’s sudden return opens the floodgate on a rush of searing memories best left in the past. Will she be able to resist the only man she’s ever loved with that depth of desire? Or is the gift of a grant to the college where she teaches really the only reason he’s returned? And what part did she play in gaining the grant for her employer? The blazing heat of summer is back...with a vengeance...
