""Return to Summer Island" romance"

Harrison Kincaid lends his house on Summer Island, Canada to friend Aiden Wythe, acting CEO of Kincaid Communications, for three weeks so the latter can do some quiet introspection as his office says he has become an overstressed monster.. However when he arrives at the place expecting a serene getaway, he finds his former employee Rae Cordell, who he transferred to the Pittsburgh office after one great night together, already occupies the place. Apparently Harrison's wife Justine allowed her access too.

Even more stunning is to find Rae pregnant with he assumes his baby as he has been intimate with her and doubts anyone else has. He is stunned when she informs him that she plans to give up their baby for adoption. Aiden needs no more thoughts about the future because he now realizes he wants Rae and their child in his life, but to persuade the woman he wants that will prove difficult as he has shown no inclination towards a permanent relationship.

The latest "Return to Summer Island" romance has less of the suspense of the previous tale (see YOU MADE ME LOVE YOU for Harrison and Jennifer's amateur sleuth romance), but contains its own intrigue with a subplot involving a missing child. The story line focuses on how two intelligent adults see the same event radically different. He insists Pittsburgh was a promotion and displays his trust in her skills; she believes Pittsburgh was exile so he would not have to see the woman he seduced during a business merger. Fans will know that relationships are built on relativity in that both are a little right and wrong once their attraction turns to love.
