Stranger on the Beach — Arlene Hale

Lynn Haines wanted to get away from it all. From her wealthy fiance and his maddening possessiveness. From her parents, who treated her painting as a childish hobby. From the ceaseless round of parties that kept her from her work. From the ceaseless round of parties that kept her from her work. Lynn retreats to a seaside escape where she meets a man who doesn't want her, but whom she wants...

Eagerly, Lyn accepted an offer to live on a isolated seaside estate while its owner was off in Europe. This was Lynn's chance to decide how she really felt about her approaching marriage, and to find out how good and artist she was. But Lynn's summer of solitude turned into a season of stormy emotion when she arrived to find a handsome, mysteriously hostile stranger on the estate--a man who left Lynn torn between rising anger and growing love. For the first time she learned what it was to want a man who did not want her, and to risk even her precious pride in a dangerous gamble for happiness.
