Pagan Heart — Francine Rivers

He appraises her brazenly from the helicopter cockpit, but January Templar, wrapped in memories of her dead husband, wants nothing to do with raven-haired Hawaiian Maleko Hawkbryn. Although he pursues her with humor and determination, arousing a tentative yearning, she evades him completely...until he orchestrates her kidnapping!

In a lush tropical valley remote from civilization, January falls under a seductive spell. Caressed by sultry breezes, heated by sun-glazed sands, she and Maleko are swept away by throbbing, primitive passion. But January can't quite forget the secret she hides...which may banish them both from paradise...
