159279047X Hurago—a privately owned island, opened to research only.
No tourist traps taint it. Legend has it that the island is
protected by a pair of 30-foot female statues poised at the
edge of the lagoon. No one knows where they came from and
the present residents don't know their true purpose. While
others speculate, Jessica Martin, island agriculture
engineer, and Edward Chamberlain, island owner, feel the
power the statues evoke and know they and their island will
always be protected by the giant ladies. But even they do not realize to what extent that protection
will go. The story follows the romance of Jessica and Dr. Chris
Matthews, a recent arrival. Together they battle old
demons, deceased and alive, to reach happiness, with the
statues subtly clearing the path for them to achieve that
goal. The story also deals with the romance of Chris's
brother, Sean, wildlife biologist, and Edward's daughter,
Leiaa, romance that evolves to flaunt the very traditions
the statues represent, and one that eventually incurs the
wrath of these normally silent ladies...or so it seems. Additional InformationAn island open for scientific research only. No tourist
traps taint it. Guarded by two mysterious and ancient
statues. A place where true love can be found and evil is
not allowed to exist. But even the residents don't realize
the extent to which the statues will go to protect the
island.
