SOLVED. Hero is from English society, Heroine from a tropical island. [s]

[Niki11784]

I remember bits about the book, but I cant remember the storyline- the main character (hero) goes to this tropical island, meets the heroine who I think was partially indian or hawaiin, and they bring back a horse to England- there is a storm on the ship and they both stay with it overnight to calm it down. He then introduces her to english society. The author was definitely a well known author- maybe Brenda Joyce or Iris Johhansen?

[Niki11784]

Bump. Pretty sure its Brenda Joyce but can't find the book.

This reminded me of an excerpt I read at the end of another story many years ago and I also thought it was a Iris Johansen book. I never did read but I would of liked to thats why I remembered it. So i did a search on amazon. If we talking about the same book I think it's Dark Rider by Iris Johansen. Dark Rider

Author Brenda Joyce - mentioned by Niki11784 (original poster)

I wonder if that is it? I'm going to read it to see :) Any other ideas? I thought it maybe it was Brenda Joyce because I remember that after they sailed to England, they transformed the heroine and some previous characters were there- a family tree type of series.Also, I think the brother in law was a ship captain and married them on his ship. Any other ideas?

I went on Amazon again and I checked out the Brenda Joyce books. The only one I could see which might be what you looking for is A Lady at Last by Brenda Joyce. Its part of the deWarrenne Dynasty. I hope this helps. A Lady At Last

[Niki11784]

No, not it :( I clearly remember the horse was brought over from the island and there was a big storm on the ship.

[Niki11784]

Still looking...I am more convinced than ever it is a Brenda Joyce novel- I think a de warren married the H/h on his ship when they visit England....any other ideas?

[Niki11784]

Maybe the characters crossed over into another one of her series?

Niki11784, are you still looking for this or did you find it?

[SBC]

Did you end up reading Dark Rider by Iris Johansen? I put in a second vote for that - it's a long time since I've read it but i'm pretty sure there was a scene like you describe with the horse on the ship.

[Niki11784]

That does sound like Dark Rider, thank you.
