The moment she steps off the plane, Julie is bewitched by the island's intoxicating atmosphere and show more the lingering scent of exotic blossoms. Debbie, her sixteen-year-old tutee, is a sweetheart, and everyone on the estate makes her feel welcome—except Ruel Chandler, Debbie's imperious, older half-brother. At the beach, Julie meets Frank, a handsome surfer who's obviously smitten. But as the Kona winds blow, Julie realizes there's something about Ruel that makes Frank seem like a mere boy by comparison. Fiction. Romance. show lessTags
