Sometimes one look is all it takes. Thrilled to be visiting her brother in Kona for the birth of his next child, Madeleine Harper and her parents are all set for a quiet family reunion in paradise. That is if Maddie weren't distracted by the naval officer she keeps—literally—bumping into. Retired Captain Daniel O'Neil is looking forward to two weeks in the sunny Hawaiian Islands to connect with the daughter he barely knows. Except his plans didn't include a beautiful stranger he can't forget. More about Look of Love from the author I was very excited to bring Nick's sister Maddie and their parents to the island for the birth of Nick and Kara's son. But I absolutely fell in love with Dan O'Neil. I do so love an officer and a gentleman. It was also a special treat for me to revisit Pearl Harbor and the Arizona memorial. I will note, though it did not happen to me, the story of the foreign tourists was true. I always love playing with the friends and family at the Big Island dive shop and I hope you'll have fun with this little story too! Enjoy! And please remember to leave a review when you're done. I'd love to hear what you thought of Look of Love!

Favorite themes of small town and Hawaii beaches blended with the story of a single dad, lost love, and a surprise son have landed Aloha Texas, the first book in the Aloha series, on the Kindle top military list and made the contemporary romance novel a reader's choice. Almost Paradise is the second book in the Aloha series.

In Shell Game, a glimpse into the past sheds light onto the friendship formed between our regulars at the Big Island Dive shop and the go-to man, Luke "Brooklyn" Chapman, as well as the woman who tamed him. Dive into You, the fifth book in the Hawaiian set romance series, has newcomer to the Big Island Dive shop, Doug Hamilton finding more than a new job in the island paradise of Kona. From the first spark of an idea, writing swashbuckler Doug's story was a blast.
