The Spoils of Eden

Can love survive when dreams divide?

The Spoils of Eden

Rafe Easton has rescued an abandoned baby from certain death on a forbidden island. Now, that courageous act could cost him his pending marriage and reputation.

The Hawaii of 1891 is not untamed as it was when the first missionaries arrived, but the dangers haven’t disappeared. Power, wealth and ambition still drive the affairs of island life, and Rafe Easton is poised to win big on all three—except for one thing. The woman he loves is walking away from their promise of life together on account of a baby boy . . . .

For her part, Eden Derrington must choose between her father’s life-long dream of curing leprosy, and a life of privilege with the man she’s loved since childhood. Will Rafe wait for her while she serves alongside her father? And what if she falls victim to the dreaded disease that took her mother many years ago?

Set against the backdrop of tropical paradise, revolutionary intrigue, hidden motives and deadly secrets, Spoils of Eden sheds light on Hawaii’s colonial era and those whose lives yielded such unexpected results.
