"It was always best to keep to oneself, to stay guarded at all times, and not let anyone have my heart... because marriage, love, romance... all of it was for fools." A modern girl in an old Hawaiian world, Princess Haukea wants nothing to do with love or romance. She would rather travel or seek an adventure. And after she barely dodged her betrothal to the King of Hilo, she wants nothing more than freedom. But upon her return to Waialua, O’ahu, things are not the same. Two mysterious bounty hunters show up in town, and with them, trouble. Haukea finds herself entangled in their business, and no matter how much she resists, she is drawn to one of the hunters. Except… she vowed never to fall in love. As Haukea encounters magic, menehune, and secrets, she must confront her fears… or her life, and the lives of others, will be at a terrible risk. Haukea is inspired by the story of Snow White, as well as Hawaiian mythology, folklore, and culture. Fans of clean romance and happily ever afters will be moved by Haukea, the second book in The Enchanted Hawai‘i Collection, a fairy tale and folklore retelling series set in ancient Hawaii.

“I was not trained to kill. I was trained to protect.” War wages between Hana on Maui, and Kohala on the Big Island of Hawaii, and Ka’ala is sick of it. Not only has she run underground operations to house dozens of refugees fleeing the war, but she believes King Hua of Hana is to blame for all of this. And she failed in her last attempt to assassinate him, a failure she hasn’t easily forgotten. When one of the king’s highest-ranking war captains comes onto the small island of Lanai, looking for the young woman who tried to kill the king, Ka’ala realizes this might be her chance. Not only does the charming captain seem to know King Hua’s secret to invincibility, but he could possibly grant her an audience with the king. Killing the king would end his barbarous rule, and it could end the war. But Ka’ala’s emotions for the captain begin to mix with duty, her underground operations become riskier than ever, and an old bounty hunter stalks her footsteps. She discovers she’s in for more than she asked for, and her duty to protect must guide her every move… or her life, and the innocent lives of others, are in the hands of the merciless king. Ka’ala is inspired by the Hawaiian legend “Ka’ala, Flower of Lanai,” retold by King Kalakaua, one of Hawaii’s last monarchs. ◆◆If you love clean romance, fairy tales, happily-ever-afters, and Hawaiian legends and culture, then try the other books in the “Enchanted Hawaii Collection!” Each book can be read as a stand-alone or in order!
