The Eden Inheritance

by Janet Tanner

When Guy de Savigny, heir to estates in the Cognac region of France, hears of a reclusive German living on a tiny Caribbean island, his attention is immediately caught. This could be the man who, as a Nazi General, destroyed his family. Guy is determined to bring him to justice, appalling his English mother, Kathryn, who fears he will uncover secrets best left hidden in the past . . .
Guy is unprepared for the effect his discoveries will have on Lilli, von Rheinhardt's daughter. Lilli is the key to von Rheinhardt, but can Guy bear to destroy her faith in the father she adores? And who is the rightful owner of the Eden Inheritance - and what is the price they are prepared to pay for it?
