Candle in the Wind (Harlequin Presents, #372)

Back Title Blurb: Every word of his might well be a lie Adrift in the Caribbean, wrecked against a reef, stranded alone on an island with someone who called himself Mike Scott--Samantha tried desperately to recall the events that had brought her to such an impasse. Samantha couldn't remember anything--not her name, nor even this tall, suntanned stranger who had saved her from death and who claimed to be her husband. But Samanha had no proof, no papers, no ring, no recollection of those deep blue eyes that kept staring intently into her own. She wanted to believe him--but how could she. Well, the story is dated with the dominant older male and the young naive female. It is because of this factor that I am giving this book away. But I think the story line was very good and enjoyed it again for one last read. But I really have TOO many books.

I have kept this book since high school so it must have kept my interest for a long time. I wouldn't buy it today, because it's just too implausible for the female lead to have been so wimpy. But that was a big story line 20 years ago. Now it is easy to get strong characters (women and men). But with all that, I really liked this story. See if you can get it at the library.
