Description
Can an English lady raised as a “wild orchid” ever be truly tamed?
When Trevor Mandeville leaves behind the drawing rooms of London and journeys to an island paradise in search of a rare orchid, he comes face-to-face with an even more shocking treasure. Stolen from her family at a young age, Joya Penn has spent most of her life running wild and free. Trevor tries to resist her charms, but soon finds himself captivated by the deliciously innocent—yet wildly seductive—young creature with eyes as blue as a mountain lake and blonde hair rippling down her back in an untamed mane.
Given her first taste of desire by the handsome adventurer, Joya believes all her dreams have come true when Trevor agrees to escort her back to London. But her uninhibited ways quickly throw his entire household—and his heart—into delightful chaos.
As Joya despairs of ever being the sort of “proper lady” Trevor could love, Trevor begins to wonder if he’s finally found the treasure he has been hunting for his entire life . . . in the forbidden paradise of Joya’s arms.

I absolutely loved this story, set in the exotic wilds of Africa where Victorian Orchid hunters brave hazards to find the prize of a new variety. Trevor Mandeville is one such adventurer who has been searching for an elusive expert hunter for a couple of years. He finally tracks Penn down to a secluded island, where he is shocked to find a far greater prize, his beautiful and wild daughter, Joya, so different from the staid society he is accustomed to. Mandeville then finds himself battling to prevent his passion from overcoming his stiff upper lip and causing scandal.
The descriptions of the scenery and characters captured my imagination and I was spellbound by the storyline. Highly recommended.
