Tamari Island By Joy Allyson
Published by Independently Published on October 16, 2024
Genres: Historical Romance
Formats: eBook, Paperback
Pages: 308
Emmie Prescott, the smart, pretty granddaughter of a United States senator, leaps at an offer to work on Tamari Island, a remote South Pacific island after a disastrous family exposé crushed her dream job aspirations. Her first day on the island sparks fly when she meets handsome Jack Manderly, a reporter who works on ambiguous stories for the same paper that sabotaged her career hopes. Once serious problems emerge in her new role at the designer silk plant, Emmie chooses to ignore the man whose very presence leaves her breathless.
Jack harbors a bitter sense of betrayal against Washington politicians who pressured his editor to exile him to Tamari after he linked stories of Emmie’s grandfather’s alleged activities while posted in D.C. His new assignment, tracking rumors in Southeast Asia years after the Vietnam ceasefire, is increasingly perilous. Embroiled in a dangerous mission where love and sacrifice can’t coexist, Jack strives to erase Emmie from his mind.
Despite their intentions and forced proximity, Emmie and Jack’s attraction deepen as alarming incidents occur around the island. Amidst the swirling chaos, Tamari Island deals her own hand. Will Emmie leverage her fashion connections and escape to Paris or go home and grow her political roots? And will she ever forget the man who makes her body and soul sing?

Excerpt from Tamari Island by Joy Allyson
Every cell in Emmie Prescott’s body slammed into a wall. She stopped running and bending, placed her palms on her knees, and took slow, measured breaths to calm her racing heartbeat. Glancing back, she checked for anyone behind her.
Only her lone deep impressions in the sand followed her. She straightened, hands on hips, and scanned the horizon. Foam-crested waves battered the shoreline as the afternoon tide rolled in. Clear skies and blinding sunshine magnified the dazzling white beach. She swung her arms, crisscrossing, stretching the muscles as she studied the different seascape for the first time since landing.
Too late to back out now.
She swiveled her head from side to side, working out the slight crick in her neck. Sitting on a plane for thirteen hours was murder on her butt, too. Moaning, she rubbed her backside. Minutes earlier she had abandoned her unpacked suitcase in her appointed room and startled her hostess and servants, escaping through the butler’s pantry and pushing open the outside service door.
“Where are you going?” Charlotte Amhurst had demanded. “Our guests will arrive in less than an hour.”
Pleading jet lag, she flew down the rock steps to the beach for a quick jog. Charlotte, her mother’s closest friend and whose hospitality she currently benefitted from, threw up her hands. “Stay where you can always see the house,” she warned. “You’d think with the war over, it would be safe out there. It’s not as harmless as it looks.
