EPILOGUE
To my readers.
Even though the story is over, I feel I have left you hanging, so I offer you the following.
ONE YEAR LATER.
The shrill laughter of the young boy echoed through the trees of the island paradise as his father played with him in the surf. They frolicked back and forth like schoolyard kids while Annie sat in the sand, her hands covering her swollen belly. It had been a good pregnancy. She was so at peace with the world, and with herself. Happiness she never knew possible had come over her family. Devon had long ago scattered the brush pile; there would never again be a need for it.

About the Book
Devon Harrington had his world the way he wanted it. He had a great job teaching at the college and the love of his life, Margie, to come home to each evening in their snug home in Suburban Boston. Then a dream trip to the Galapagos for research came along and he jumped at the chance. It was the South Seas adventure he had often dreamed about.
Then out of nowhere his old Navy Seal buddy Arnie came along and offered him a chance to make some fast money. More money then Devon had seen in a while. ”Take this instrument with you and leave it in the Galapagos” he said. “Simple as that and no one will be the wiser. The only stipulation is--it’s our little secret.”
But a storm sank the schooner on the way and Devon nearly died before washing ashore weeks later on a radioactive atoll. Nursed back to life by the islands only inhabitant, Devon couldn’t wait to be rescued and get back home to Margie. A formable task seeing he had no boat, didn’t know where he was and was increasingly torn by his love for his rescuer. Then he found a way, and then he also found out he was a wanted man, without a country and without a wife.
