McGillivray's Mistress by Anne McAllister released on Oct 24, 2003 is available now for purchase. This description may be from another edition of this product.
Lachlan McGillivray, an internationally-known soccer player, has had to retire due to a knee injury. He returns to the island that had been his home as a teenager, a place he had hated due to its isolation in his younger years. Now, he saw potential in the island, and began to buy up property and hotels. Fiona, a sculptress who also lived on the island, was less than glad to see Lachlan returning to the island. He had left long ago, and now that he was back, she can't get over how he had rejected the island she loved and how he had unknowingly broken her heart. Lachlan, however, couldn't get Fiona out of his mind, and knew he had to have her!I loved this book! The sparring between Lachlan and Fiona is quite funny, and I made the mistake of drinking some water while reading the part about what the King of the Beach (Fiona's sculpture on the beach, which infuriates Lachlan) was holding. The book just about got a shower as I laughed out loud! :) Fiona was a wonderful heroine: smart, devoted to her father (who died before the book took place), witty, and determined! During the ultimate resolution at the end, I "awwwed" :) If you are looking for a book that makes you laugh and leaves you with a good feeling once you are finished, I recommend this one!
