A secret island. A guarded princess. And the handsome boy who saved her from the sea.
On the pristine island of Eden, Princess Kaya’s world is one of tranquility and tradition. Isolated from the modern world, she has been taught since childhood about the arrogance, selfishness, and greed of the Self-lands, as contrasted with her beloved Eden—a peaceful monarchy that has existed intact for hundreds of years.
Until now.
When King Orion is killed in what seems a tragic accident, the palace is in upheaval. Kaya is forced to flee amid the chaos and sets to the ocean alone. Caught in a raging storm, she washes up onto the shore of Owls Head, Maine—the real, mysterious, terrifying, Self-lands. . .
Drew Meredith finds a young, beautiful girl in a gossamer gown unconscious on the shores of his beach. Now, instead of college decisions and lacrosse scholarships, he is uncovering myths and legends, explaining chocolate and flip flops, and teaching a self-conscious princess how to have fun.
And new to both of them is the growing feeling of attachment and desire that binds them. . . and blinds them to impending disaster.
