Dear Reader,

What if you always sensed there was something very porfound missing from your life, and yet you had no way of explaining what that elusive something was? That is exactly what happens to Joya Penn until Trevor Mandeville walks into her world and discovers the secret of her past.

From the moment Trevor sets eyes eyes on Joya and learns that she is the stolen twin of his adopted sister, he is certaint that this captivating, innocently seductive creature will turn his life--and his heart--updated down.

Joya believes that her dreams have come true when she is reunited with her twin and then journeys to London with the Mandevilles. But her irrepressible native ways and her uninhabited desire for Trevor quickly throw the entire household into chaos.

The Orchid Hunter takes you from the streaming rain forest of a remote jungle isle to the drawing rooms of London. It's the kind of story I like most, the kind that will have you laughing out loud and shedding a tear or two. It's a tale of deception and desire, but most of all, the enduring power of love.

It was one of those books that keep you wanting to read and not put it down. I stayed awake in the wee hours of the morning when I should have been asleep but didn't want to put the book down.
