The Silk Scarf Dall'alba Frances

Melita Van Der Meeliko's swimwear is starting to make waves in the industry. Hoping to ride the success, she's determined to open her own boutique/teahouse. A chance find of a derelict building might be the solution-and she wants Luke Harvey to do the renovations. Shaking off her feelings for him is another challenge altogether.



Down-to-earth tradesman Luke Harvey has dreams of his own, determined to be a leader in sustainable green buildings. When Melita offers him the chance to showcase his skills, he's got to make a choice. Turn down the career-making project or risk torturing his heart. His recurring nightmare is one thing, but that wasn't the only reason he ended what they once had.



Deciding to risk it all, Luke takes on the project. Too bad the building has a history, and not a very pleasant one. And Luke doesn't like it when Melita gets caught in the crosshairs.



With Melita's life at risk, Luke recognises the gaping abyss between her ultra-wealthy existence and his barely-there meagre living. Denying it was the reason he pulled back three years earlier won't work anymore. Luke will need to quell his nightmares and let go of the money issue, because Melita wants everything she's worked so hard for and the man she loves.



Will the silk scarf that's entwined itself around their lives stop unravelling, and bring them back together?




This story will hint at a history that few know about and even fewer remember.
