Wicked, Wild Eden

Eden Flynn comes to New Zealand at her late husband's request. She doesn't want to but having promised him she finally does. She's there to claim her half of the mine that Shamus left to her. What she didn't expect was to fall in love with Shamus's nephew. Damon Alexander doesn't want Eden Flynn there. He expects her to be a gold digging ... just like his "dead" wife. But he ends up falling in love her. But there are a few people standing in the way. Namely Jock, a competitor who stills hold a grudge for winning Tessa, and Tessa herself, the dead wife. Both are bent on getting what they want. Jock wants Eden and Tessa wants Damon. What I didn't get was why Eden was so naive. Having worked in a bordello, even if it was just as a bookkeeper, I expected her to know something about men. But when Damon, thinking she's a ... tries to get her in bed, she immediately starts talking about love and marriage. And she kept crying and saying she loved Damon even while kissing Jock. Eden just seemed so immature. And it also surprised me how open the guys were about their feelings. Damon didn't really try to deny his feelings for Eden, even when they didn't know each other. It wasn't the best book I read but it also wasn't the worst.
