A secret island. A guarded princess. And the handsome boy who saved her from the sea.
On the pristine island of Eden, Princess Kaya's world is
one of tranquility and tradition. Isolated from the modern
world, she has been taught since childhood about the
arrogance, selfishness, and greed of the Self-lands, as contrasted
with her beloved Eden-a peaceful monarchy that has existed
intact for hundreds of years.
Until now.
When King Orion is killed in what seems a
tragic accident, the palace is in upheaval. Kaya is forced to flee
amid the chaos and sets to the ocean alone. Caught in a raging
storm, she washes up onto the shore of Owls Head, Maine-
the real, mysterious, terrifying, Self-lands. . .
Drew Meredith finds a young, beautiful girl in a
gossamer gown unconscious on the shores of his beach.
Now, instead of college decisions and lacrosse scholarships, he
is uncovering myths and legends, explaining chocolate and flip flops,
and teaching a self-conscious princess how to have fun.
And new to both of them is the growing feeling of attachment
and desire that binds them. . . and blinds them to impending disaster.
Eden is a young adult fantasy romance, 350 pages. It is a coming of age story that combines romance, royalty, politics, and mysticism, creating smart, clean fiction with a point beyond "swoon-worthy" but still giving a girl the tingles all the same.
