Helpless and hurting, she is grateful that she is not alone. A curious man… Daniel, a scientist studying local bird migrations, discovers the mystery woman, and suspects that she may have been a passenger on a recently missing yacht. Now if he can only figure out who she is… An island paradise… Among the sand, sun, and verdant Takamaka trees, they both work to unravel the mystery of her arrival on the island…all while falling in love. Enjoy the following excerpt for The Takamaka Tree: Her mouth was full of sand. Her first conscious thought was the unpleasant sensation of fine grit caking her tongue and teeth. She became aware that she was wet, and that warm water was lapping around her, washing over her legs rhythmically and gently. It was soothing and held no menace. She wished she could reach the water to rinse the sand out of her mouth, but the effort seemed too much. The sun was rising in the sky and its warmth lulled her into sleep, an uneasy sleep in which she longed for unknown things to happen.
