    About this ebook

    From the Romantic Times Career Achievement Award-winning author for Multicultural Romance, Bette Ford, a novel about true love, fate and a tropical paradise…
    “Island Magic is an emotionally intense read…a beautiful love story with a beautiful setting.” –Romantic Times
    With hard work and perseverance, Cassandra Mosely has transformed a bland rooming house into a popular California inn. Now what she really needs is a long-deserved break from work—and from her strained relationship with the wealthy businessman, Gordan Kramer. Looking for time and space to ponder her life, Cassandra takes a vacation to the beautiful island of Martinique…never expecting to find herself in a new romance that challenges her in ways she never thought possible…
    But Gordan doesn’t give up that quickly and is determined to get Cassie back into his life. Now, in the paradise of Martinique, Cassy and Gordan must rediscover each other if they really want their relationship to work out—and if some island magic enlightens the two workaholics on the pleasures of paradise, it will be a vacation worth remembering…
