Edisto Island

Benjamin Bodicott is a gentleman. A man with brilliant blue eyes, flowing hair and a manner of speaking far superior to his peers, Benjamin is as near as Rhett Butler as Edisto Island, South Carolina, has ever seen. Whaley, a twenty-two-year-old island native, never thought that she would fall for an aristocrat. But when Benjamin steps into her life, everything changes. In this tale of romance with a hint of mystery, Nancy Rhyne creates characters as rich in complexity as the beauty of the South Carolina Lowcountry that she masterfully describes. In the sea of turmoil that envelops Whaley's life, she must set aside the world that she knows to determine if love really does conquer all.
