Paradise Dreams

By J. Hale Turner

After a tumultuous marriage, Melanie Harris returns to the United States to care for her aging parents and maintain her writing career. During a visit to New York City, she is robbed and attacked. Just as Melanie thinks her worst fear is about to be realized, a handsome stranger steps in to rescue her.

As owner of the fabulous White Sands Villas in Ocho Rios, Kendall Myers spends life focusing on his business, his precocious eleven-year-old daughter, and his doting Aunt Beth. On a business trip to New York City, he rescues a beautiful woman from a robbery, but before he can learn her name, she runs away, puzzling both Kendall and the police. But it's something about that wounded woman that Kendall can't seem to let go. When he finally tracks her down, will she open the door to her secrets, and let love in?

Paradise Dreams offers readers an inside view of two people who learn that it takes endurance, patience and forgiveness to regain faith in opening one's heart to love.

J. Hale Turner

Since childhood, reading has played a very important part in J. Hale Turner's family. "We learned to read at a very early age. In addition to reading, we enjoyed the stories shared by our parents. I recall that my favorite assignments in school were writing poetry, short stories and compositions. At home we were encouraged to write letters to family and friends and eventually I began writing personal journals. Little did I know they all would play an important part in my life years later." Today, J. Hale Turner continues to write stories for her readers of all ages.   As an advocate for literacy her motto is, "Reading together brings family together."
