Amber Beach

Honor Donovan needs help and she needs it fast. Her brother Kyle is missing, along with a fortune in rare Baltic Amber. Honor hires the lethally attractive fishing guide Jake Mallory to guide her through the waters surrounding the San Juan Islands where she believes Kyle to be. Little does Jake know the web of intrigue he has entered--or does he? Is Jake really the experienced guide he says he is or does he have his own agenda? And just how long can Honor resist the rugged charms of this mysterious fishing guide? The San Juan Islands of Puget Sound provide a lush backdrop for Elizabeth Lowell's enthralling novel. Nothing is as it seems in this gripping pageturner. And readers have more to look forward to in Jade Island, the continuation of the Donovan's story due out in the fall of 1998. --Maudeen Wachsmith
