Angels Landing: A Cavanaugh Island Novel
by Rochelle Alers
Contemporary Romance. New York City social worker Kara Newell has no idea what to expect when she's summoned to Charleston, South Carolina to attend the reading of a stranger's will. She certainly doesn't expect to learn that the deceased was her biological father. Even more surprising is that wealthy Taylor Patton has willed her his estate on nearby Cavanaugh Island, provided she moves there and renovates the property. As she falls in love with the island and its close-knit community, she also forges a strong bond with sheriff Jeffrey Hamilton -- whose help will prove invaluable as Kara fends off scheming relatives and unscrupulous developers who want to get their hands on her new home. Angels Landing is the 2nd of Rochelle Alers' Cavanaugh Island novels.

Highland Romance. Three years after she left him, Arran Mackenzie's wife has returned to Scotland.
