Reunion in Paradise

Reunion in Paradise is a romance novel depicting five striking women, each so different from the other, and the intervention of an uninvited male to their "female only" reunion. The heartbroken stranger, expecting to nurse his crushed ego and rejected heart, instead finds his true love with one of the enticing ladies, but not before engaging in a myriad of obstacles first. The love triangle that developed between Melanie, the handsome, jilted Bruce and the determined Sandra was a rocky road; until fate took hold of their destinies.

Now, after nearly a decade "The Fabulous Five" were reuniting on the exotic island jewel of Bermuda. Why there - in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean surrounded by water, where there was no escape? It had taken two years of postponements and dozens of phone calls to arrange the reunion. Finally, the fateful day had arrived after months of preparations. Was this tiny island ready for their invasion?

The magic of the enchanted isle engulfed each of their lives allowing their fears to surface...a surprising twist of fate. Life had worn away their defenses, crumbling their once impenetrable walls, but the bonding that ensued would last their lifetimes. The intertwining web of friendship is woven deeply between these beguiling ladies. Their camaraderie is questionable at times, and yet, it's the common denominator that keeps them, friends. Their vulnerability becomes exposed when their secrets begin to unravel their protective veils and reveal their raw emotions. The time had come to confront their pasts, deal with their presence, and face their futures. Each had brought excess baggage...indiscretions they hadn't been willing to share before.
