      An Unexpected Attraction...

      For Allie Osaka, dealing with her tragic past means running from it. Inheriting her family’s Kona coffee plantation on the Big Island of Hawaii is the last thing she expects when all she wants to do is keep running. Selling the inheritance and moving on sounds good, but her grandmother’s will comes with a mighty catch—namely irresistible foreman Dallas McCormick, who owns half the plantation.

      Flaring tempers and hotter-than-lava attraction can only lead to trouble. But when a tsunami threatens Allie’s future and the promise Dallas made to her grandmother, they both might have to open their eyes to the truth...and to love.

      “You’re really beautiful,” Dallas said, before he could stop himself.

      “Come on.” Allie wiggled on her stool, made uncomfortable by the attention. “You don’t have to feed me lines just because we’re stuck here.”

      “What lines?” Dallas stood, and moved around the table, so he was standing right in front of her. Allie craned her neck up to meet his eyes. “I told you, I only tell the truth.”

      He moved in closer, and she tilted her chin up to meet his. She didn’t inch away, but sat very still.

      His lips brushed hers, ever so gently. She didn’t push him away, or cry out. Instead, she wrapped her hand around the fabric of his shirt and pulled him closer. She spread her knees and instantly he was between them, her arms around his neck, nothing separating them but thin fabric.

      She tasted like tequila and something even more delicious, and though he tried, he couldn’t get enough of her mouth. Her tongue met his in a little dance, and he felt as if, despite all the many women he’d kissed before in his life, she might as well have been the only one who mattered.

      Dear Reader,

      Aloha! Her Hawaiian Homecoming is my first book in the Heart of Hawaii miniseries, and I’m very excited to introduce you to the place I love most in the world. Like my main character, Allie, I grew up in a mixed-race family, part Japanese and part English. I was fortunate to take many trips to Hawaii growing up, and it was one of the few places I truly felt at home. I fell in love with the one-of-a-kind lava-rock beaches, the gorgeous tropical flowers growing wild, the welcoming people and their amazing aloha spirit.

      Hawaii is a place where cultures often collide, and that’s what happens when Allie Osaka, who’s been running from Hawaii most of her life, comes home to find a cowboy from the mainland has taken over her family’s coffee plantation. As they fight each other to figure out who’s going to decide the fate of the Kona Coffee Estate, sparks fly.

      I hope you enjoy their story—and this little escape to the Big Island—as much as I loved writing it. Our fiftieth state is a magical place, and it’s no wonder so many honeymooners escape there every year. Love blooms right alongside those gorgeous birds of paradise.

      Here’s wishing you tons of warm sunshine, love and happiness.

      Mahalo!
