Island in the Sun by Janice Horton
Blurb
When successful jewellery designer Isla Ashton unexpectedly inherits her eccentric Aunt Kate’s Caribbean island, she is obligated to return to the place she associates with heartache and regret. To where she grew up and fell in love with her childhood friend, Leo Fernandez.
Fully intent on selling the island and finally putting the past behind her, Isla is soon compelled to put together the pieces of what really happened on a fateful night ten-years before. She begins to believe that in going to prison, Leo hadn’t only been shielding her from the same fate.
She also starts to suspect that her late Aunt hadn’t been entirely honest in sending her away under the guise of recriminations.
Who had they both been protecting and why?
Review
There is a story within a story in this gorgeous novel, and both tales are full of secrets and drama, love and death, hope and despair. This novel had a lot going for it, and is chock full of wonderfully drawn characters, but there is one character that stole the show - and that was the island itself. I adored spending time in the Caribbean!
