The tiny breathtakingly beautiful island of Farando Cay in the Bahamas had been divided between three owners: Bryn Sherard, an uncompromising autocratic Englishman; Madame de Meulen, matriarchal ruler of an aristocratic French family; and Gray Murray, who was dead. When Gray's widow came out with her young sister and brother to see her inheritance, she guessed that the three of them would be regarded with suspicion and that, in so small a white community, this fact could give rise to a good many difficulties. But it hadn't occurred to anyone that three love stories, and a spice of intrigue, would grow out of this quiet invasion.
