“So, what did bring you to Rarotonga, besides a plane?”
   Sarah took a quick look around to make sure other tourists were out of earshot before giving him the news. “I’m on my honeymoon. Why are you here?”
   “Whoa. You said you weren’t married.”
   She had to laugh at the outraged look on his face, not sorry for the teasing. “I didn’t lie. No husband. The groom is back home and probably with another woman by now.”
   Christian snapped his open mouth closed, and there was a significant pause before his curiosity kicked in again. “Sounds like an interesting story.”
   She shrugged. “Not one I’m comfortable sharing. With anyone.”
   “I’m not anyone. I’m your dinner companion.”
   Sarah couldn’t help smiling. “It was one dinner.”

   About the Author
   Cheryl Phipps is a USA Today best-selling romance author from beautiful Auckland, New Zealand.
   As a young mother with three small children, Cheryl escaped the daily chaos of motherhood through her beloved romance novels. She loved being whisked away from nappies and wiping noses to exotic locations filled with suave heroes and feisty heroines in wonderful small towns with heart-warming tales of strong family ties and life-affirming true love.
   Her bookshelves still hold those favorite authors – Nora Roberts, Marian Keyes and Cathy Kelly – plus new-found favorites like Marie Force and Bella Andre, who write stories that echo Cheryl’s own values: family always comes first and life’s struggles and challenges are always surmountable through love.
   Cheryl’s three children now have families of their own, leaving her free to pursue her dreams of writing novels. She lives in a quiet suburb and enjoys walks with her wonderful husband, who she married the moment she left school (yes, they were high school sweethearts), spending time with friends and, of course, weaving sensual stories that celebrate the joy of love, family and resilience.
