Women's Fiction Historical
Hawaiian Islands, 1779 As the second daughter of a royal chief, Maile will be
permitted to marry for love. Her fiancé is the best
navigator in Hawaii, and he taught her everything he knows
how to feel the ocean, observe the winds, read the stars,
and how to love. But when sailors from a strange place called England arrive
on her island, a misunderstanding ends in battle, and Maile
is suddenly widowed before she is wed. Finding herself in the middle of the battle and fearing for
her life, Maile takes John Harbottle, the wounded man who
killed her fiancé, prisoner, and though originally intending
to let him die, she reluctantly heals him. And in the
process, she discovers the man she thought was her enemy
might be her ally instead. John has been Captain James Cook's translator for three
voyages across the Pacific. He is kind and clearly
fascinated with her homeland and her people and Maile
herself. But guilt continues to drive a wedge between them:
John's guilt over the death he caused, and Maile's guilt
over the truth about what triggered the deadly battle a
secret she's kept hidden from everyone on the island. When Maile is tasked with teaching John how to navigate
using the stars so he can sail back to England, they must
also navigate the challenges of being from very different
cultures. In doing so, they might also find the peace that
comes when two hearts become one.
