On a cold wet blustery day, what could be better than reading a sumptuous story set in Hawaii? Here are three linked tales under one cover, and I hope they make you as warm as I felt.

HAWAIIAN HOLIDAY by RaeAnn Thayne reminds us that first, we have to get there - a nine hour trip from snowy Chicago for harried mother Megan and her twin daughters. She's amicably divorced and she and the girls are going to her ex- husband's wedding, regardless of the fact that little Grace has special needs. The bride's brother Shane turns out to be a cop who previously came in to the ER where Megan works, with a gunshot wound in the shoulder. They flirted a little but nothing came of it, because Megan doesn't consider herself available to date, not with the kids. Shane handled disappointment well, but he's only too pleased to sit beside her on the flight. The island is beautiful, with garlands of plumeria wafting sweet scent, sparkling blue sea and fringed palm trees. Smiling at Shane, who is so helpful with Grace's wheelchair, Megan starts to think that magic is in the air.

HAWAIIAN REUNION by Marie Ferrarella focuses on Amy, who wants to avoid ruining the wedding trip by letting anyone know that she and the best man Devlin are getting divorced. After all, she found her firefighter husband in a compromising position with their sexy neighbour. Devlin swears that nothing was going to happen, the silly neighbour is a fireman groupie. Amy just feels that if it happened once it could happen again. Her feelings of loss drive her to keep making snide remarks and pushing her husband away. There's a further complication... she's pregnant.

HAWAIIAN RETREAT by Leanne Banks introduces Gabi, on her way to her half-brother's wedding - she and Nick have much- married parents. She works in her father's cosmetics firm, and is trying to persuade him to release an organic line and secure a major contract. Hawaii is so lovely that she feels stress drop off her shoulders and the activities include surfing which is less easy than it looks! Since she doesn't have a wedding date, Finn the friendly surf instructor offers to be her partner and somehow Gabi can't resist this really nice guy. It's just a holiday fling - or is it?

ISLAND PROMISES is sultry and sunny, a treat at any time of year.

SUMMARY

The Ex-Wife

Megan McNeil is genuinely happy to escort her little girls to their father's wedding in Kauai, Hawaii—even though she feels like a third wheel. One gorgeous groomsman definitely disagrees. But are they both carrying too much baggage to begin a new romance?

The Best Man

Devlin Marshall won't let anything spoil his buddy's big day —not even his own rocky marriage. Secrets and mistrust have divided him from his Amy, but the love in the air seems to be catching….

The Sister

Family comes first. Deep down, Gabi Foster knows it, but this holiday is hurting her career. Can a sweet, sexy surfing instructor convince her that love is worth more than a business deal?
