Fate had placed her in an awkward spot.

When Caroline accompanied the elderly Mrs. Pontock-Pikey to the Bahamas, she didn't know what her mission was to be. Her dear old employer wanted custody of her dead granddaughter's children, but so did the children's father, the handsome, enigmatic Roland Dayler. Caroline was caught in the middle of two determined forces.

To whom should Caroline give her loyalty--her employer, or the man who was quickly becoming the focus of her love?
