"Whitewater—I hate you!" And she hated this "fool ritual" that had sent her halfway around the world. But Piper Gordon had promised her grandmother that she'd return the centuries—old funeral necklace to Hawaii, as the law now demanded. Even if it meant destroying the beautiful object by sacrificing it to the goddess Pele. Even if it meant spending time with a man she was determined to dislike—David Whitewater, a man who had once ruthlessly prosecuted her grandmother. To Piper's fury, the Native American lawyer had been appointed to accompany her to Hawaii. But was it just David Whitewater and what he represented that disturbed Piper so deeply, or was it the growing attraction between them?

Sally McCluskey (aka Bethany Campbell) was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, as an only child. She attended college beginning as a chemistry major, after quickly switching her major to English. She obtainded a B.A. from Wayne State Teachers College, and an M.A. in English from the University of Arkansas. She met her husband, Dan Borengasser, while both were graduate students at Northern Illinois University, where she obtained a Ph.D. in English. Sally taught and in her spare time wrote, but after marriage, the couple moved to an area where teaching jobs were scarce, and she turned to writing full time. She wrote poetry, articles, short stories, and contributed to textbooks, but finally decided to try a romance novel at the urging of her mom and aunt, both avid romance fans. To Sally’s amazement, Harlequin bought her story After the Stars Fall and published it in 1985 under the pseudonym Bethany Campbell. She has also written as Lisa Harris. She has won three Romance Writers of America (RWA) RITA Awards, three Romantic Times Reviewer Awards, a Maggie Award, and the Daphne du Maurier Award of Excellence. She lived with her husband in northwest Arkansas. Her husband, who serves as Vice President of Ozark Film & Video Productions, also writes, and has had several short films and plays produced.
