Isla de Margarita, off the coast of Venezuela, is the setting for Isle of Desire by Eden Bradley. The island is a tropical paradise with glistening white sand, turquoise ocean, and heated passions. Isabel Asher and Rafael Cruz first met when Isabel and her family stayed at the beachfront hotel owned by Rafael's parents, over twelve years ago. The young lovers were separated when her family's vacation ended.

Isabel and Rafael sensed what they felt was more than a vacation romance–that it was, in fact, the real thing…so they made a pact to reunite on their 30 th birthday.

Will the old desire spark to rekindle their love? Or will Isabel and Rafael learn that the years spent apart have changed them too much for them to ever go back and recapture what they once had?

Ms. Bradley's voice carries a lush sensuality that resonates throughout her work. Isabel and Rafael are vibrant and clearly defined with an emotional connection that sweeps across the page, and catches the reader off guard. Isle of Desire is a beautifully rendered love story, filled with incredible passion.
