Gypsy Magic
Lovely model, Gypsy Gaynor, is stranded after a photo shoot when the helicopter that dropped her off on a deserted island with only a floor-length mink cape, a red bikini, and a silk scarf crashes. Injured and unconscious, Gypsy finally awakens to find a sweet little boy named Kevin tugging at her toes and calling her Mother. He takes her home to the cabin he occupies with his taciturn father, artist Lance Saunders who tells her they are all stuck there for the next month until his friends return to pick him up. Gypsy can do nothing to save herself, but she soon sees a serious problem between father and son and, with nothing else to occupy her time, sets out to learn the reason Kevin’s afraid of his daddy, and why Lance believes there’s nothing he can do about it. Within days, she realizes she’s having a wonderful time with six-year-old Kevin, as well as developing an interest in Lance, though he warned her at the outset not to do so.
Lance, for his part, finds Gypsy annoying, outspoken, interfering and incredibly tempting, mink cape, red bikini and all, however much he tries to hide that from her and from himself. As she sets out to “fix” the problem between him and his son, he discovers her methods work—sometimes—but that even the failures do nothing to stop the determined Gypsy from plying her magic and making him want things he’s better off without, things he knows he doesn’t deserve.
Will the love in Gypsy’s warm heart be enough to heal the emotional injuries life has dealt both father and son? Upon their return to civilization, it appears not… Until Little Matchmaker Kevin takes matters into his own hands and goes off on an adventurous, potentially dangerous solo search for Gypsy.

Dessert island pseudo-abandonment of a model on location who has to survive a month until they will be 'saved' with a widower and his six year son, Kevin. There were lots of weird coincidences in this story like Kevin having the same name as Gypsy's dead little brother and the fact that she is physically similar to Lance's ex-wife. I totally understand how the author brought together these similarities to bring the characters closer than would have been possible if they were totally strangers because it all goes down in about a month on a deserted island. Because Lance was the less lovable hero that I've read in a long time, I almost want to say that he doesn't deserve Gypsy or his son's second chance at love.
Well written and the build up to making a new family was natural and fun.
I loved The Swiss Family Robinson when I was twelve and must have read it twice during a long hot summer on the beach which left a great taste in my mouth and a craving for deserted island stories when ever I come across them.
Second book in 'The Little Matchmakers series' where a little child brings two hurting people together to make a new family which would melt even the most stone cold heart.
