Why was EdenCadbough of the Philadelphia

Carlboughs slaving at a summer camp for.gillS?

Chase ElliOtt was mystified and intriguedwhen he

caught the regal beauty stealing an apple from his

neighboring orchard.Eden had treated him as though

he were the serpent, butit was Chase who found

himself suCcumbing to temptation.

Eden had lost almost everything--her wealth, her

fiance and her trust of men. All that remained was her

partnership in this struggling camp...and her pride. She

was determined to succeed on her own, to prove that

she needed no one...least of all her rude, overbearing neighbor. But Case s tender touch ignited a kind of

need Eden had never known before in her sheltered

life, and left her longing for more.
