He's intrigued by the intense and immediate attraction he feels to Mariel. Though she feels the attraction as intensely as Nicholas, Mariel tries to keep her distance for she knows that the secrets in her past could destroy both their careers. Ms. Donald has written wonderful characters here. When faced with Mariel's past and all that it may mean to his future, Nicholas fights for her, even when she is ready to walk away to protect him. It's been many many years since I've read Harlequins with a UK or New Zealand point of view, and it was a pleasure to be reintroduced to their unique English.

Indiscretions by Robyn Donald (Large Print Harlequin Hardcover)

Definitely recommended - a splendid plot that keeps you guessing, complex characters whose attraction for each other cannot be denied - you'll want to read this one again! Description from the book back cover: Mariel had jumped at the offer to translate at Bride's Bay Resort again - but soon wished she hadn't. Firstly, working for a security-conscious delegation was no job for a woman with a past. Secondly, there was Nicholas Leigh. From the start a feral and magnetic attraction crackled between them. An affair with a delegate would be indiscreet enough. If Nicholas discovered her carefully covered past too, it would destroy both their lives. For his sake - for hers too - Mariel had to get out of this man's life ... But first she had to break the spell that bound them!

With Just One Glance She Knew He Was Irresistible

Mariel Browning has been away from her home country of New Zealand for ten years and she doesn't plan on ever going back, because she has a secret past she'd just as soon forget. She is fluent in several languages, lives in New York and works as a freelance interpreter. She has accepted a job translating Japanese at the Bride's Bay Resort on an island off of South Carolina. However she didn't realize she'd be translating for diplomats and politicians from New Zealand, so she is on edge, almost wishing she could get out of the job. Then in the hotel bar she crosses eyes with Nicholas Leigh, a wealthy Kiwi who is a member of the New Zealand delegation. Mariel tries to resist. She's afraid Nicholas will find out about her past. Can she put the thought of him, the idea of him aside and do her job? Can Nicholas, who is attracted to her, do likewise? This excellent story drips suspense slowly, keeping the reader interested throughout. Just what is Mariel's secret? Will Nicholas find it out? Plus Ms. Donald gives us some tense moments, for example when Nicholas has to face down a man a gun. We see that he is not the kind of man who backs down. Yes, he is a man who is sure of himself, but he is not overbearing, he apologizes when he makes a mistake. I liked Nicholas. I liked Mariel and I really, really liked this book.
