Synopsis

HOLIDAY FOR LOVE Edmund Forth was handsome, successful and dull. He had everything, including a cool, titled fiance. Then he went on vacation to bright, hot Portugal -- and Francesca Nash suddenly came storming into his life. She was lithe, tanned beauty from another world. Edmund defended himself as best he could from her onslaughts. Finally it took a scandal that rocked London for Edmund to realize that the language Francesca spoke was the language of the heart. Also published as "Language of the Heart"
