Paradise Promised — Terri Valentine

SHE OPENED HER EYES TO A TITIAN-HAIRED GOD . . .
Malana disrobes, offering her untouched beauty to the stranger standing before her. For she believes he is Te Tuma, the magnificent god of the volcano to who she has been sacrificed.
. . . AND FOUND HEAVEN IN THE ARMS OF A MORTAL LOVER
Never before has he been tormented by such temptation. Captain Zephiran Westley has just rescued this lovely island innocent --- the half-caste daughter of Westley's mentor and friend. Yet not even a new life in America can subdue Malana's uninhibited sensuality. Her lush body whispers of long nights of passion, and Zephiran cannot resist the pagan call of desire.
Fate will join Malana and Zephiran in an unlikely union . . . and thrust them toward a turbulent future. For dark peril waits --- both in America and on the exotic island of Hitihiti, where the rumblings of an ancient evil grow stronger. Malana's only hope of survival lies with the man whose love is her salvation --- and the promise of paradise.
