Sometimes following your ambitions means losing your heart.
When Celeste McMillan graduated from college, she hit the
ground running, prepared to overcome every challenge and
climb the corporate ladder at record-breaking speed. But
then a client assaults her, and her boss forces her to take
a ten-day “vacation” in Hawaii.
Kanoe Anakalea is intrigued when he meets the pale-skinned,
redheaded haole on his favorite surfing beach. Celeste is
intelligent and adventurous, sexy and sweet. Even though
sun, sand and sexy surfers are as foreign to Celeste as the
L.A. corporate world is to Kanoe, their sexual chemistry
sizzles.
As they spend sun-warmed days and plumeria-scented nights in
each other’s arms, they find themselves falling hard. Yet
love is out of the question. Kanoe is rooted in his island
home, and Celeste’s future beckons in L.A. As the clock
ticks down, Celeste realizes that letting go might be the
greatest challenge she’s ever had to face.
