Yet he dare not love a decent woman. And there is a strange shadow behind her brave blue eyes. Can the impossible become possible for the pirate and the Puritan?

Blurb: Property developer Paul McIvor wants to uproot the Palm Garden, and build a luxury hotel on the site. Cathy Brown, president of the local environment committee, wants the garden left alone. They are on opposite sides of the argument, their personalities clash, yet they are passionately attracted to each other. Paul, embittered by a divorce, believes the attraction is merely physical. Cathy, wary of men who want her for her stunning looks, believes it's merely physical. But it just won't go away. The fight over the Palm Garden throws them together and tears them apart. It seems impossible they can create a lasting relationship. Yet maybe, when a near tragedy reveals their true feelings, the plans for the Garden will somehow serve as a perfect blueprint for love.
