I would give it a 3 1/2 star if that were available. I really enjoyed reading the story. It is one of those books where the ending saves the book (whereas for some books the ending kills the book) I thought it was well told. A mysterious woman tells Celia the man she is about to marry is a serial killer and she runs for her life onto a boat and into a terrible storm. She becomes shipwrecked on an island with two men and a house keeper all with secrets of their own.

Unconscious and wearing a torn wedding dress, Celia Stevens washed up on the shores of Solitare and threw Cameron Alexander's peaceful seclusion into complete chaos. Not only did her presence force him to reecamin his reasons for hiding out, but within days the walls around Cameron's hardenedheart slowly began to crumble...

Celia sensed her enigmatic captor has a dangerous past, one she'd be better off not learning. And yet, it was Cameron's tough exterior as well as his tortured sould that made Celia long to spend a lifetime wrapped in his arms. But just as a future together looked possible, the evil that Cameron had feared for six years reared its ugly head, threatening the dreams they had dared to dream...

The Bride's Rescuer by Charlotte Douglas

Harlequin Intrigue # 691 - December 2002

Celia's about to walk down the aisle when a mysterious woman tells her an amazing story. Celia can't face the groom so she leaves him in his tuxedo at the yacht club. Sailing away in her father's boat, a storm over takes her, throwing her into the sea. Cameron's been living as a recluse on his island for 6 years and he's not pleased at all when Celia washes up on his beach. He can't let her leave for fear she'll reveal his whereabouts, but he can't let her stay either for fear of his heart.

I thought the story line was excellent, though for some reason the book didn't seem to reach its potential. I did enjoy it though.
