Random Island

INTRIGUE. TENSION. LOVE AFFAIRS:
In The Historical Romance series, a set of stand-alone novels, Vivian Stuart builds her compelling narratives around the dramatic lives of sea captains, nurses, surgeons, and members of the aristocracy.
Stuart takes us back to the societies of the 20th century, drawing on her own experience of places across Australia, India, East Asia, and the Middle East.

When her father died it was hardly surprising that she accepted a post as Senior Surgical Officer on Random Island in the Pacific.
And almost immediately 'Sami' was flung into a maelstrom of chaotic event. The island, in the grip of a typhoon, became inaccessible by normal transport and Sami – aware of their desperate medical needs – was forced to turn to the handsome but enigmatic Captain James Bruce for help ...
