A beautiful woman with an aching heart, a handsome bachelor with a severe money problem and $6 million missing. A perfect recipe for an adventure in Paradise–Hawaii to be exact.

When auditor Meg Morton, comes to Hawaii to track down missing money, she finds much more than she bargains for — her own hidden past, a suave Foundation Director who is her prime suspect, and a take-her-breath away romance that cannot be denied.

Meg searches for the truth as Marc Akilahu, Kauai’s most eligible bachelor struggles to keep his family plantation afloat. He’s searching for love and hasn’t found it. He has to make very hard choices if he’s to follow his heart to this new woman who has turned his world into a shambles.
