When twenty-seven year old Real Estate broker, Ashley Walsh, learns that her husband's business trips aren't strictly for business she uproots her life and buys a one-way ticket to Hawaii. And what better place to start over than a sleepy little surf town on Maui's North Shore? Life in Paia moves at a different pace and surrounded by nothing but blue skies and crystal clear water Ashley receives a warm Aloha welcome from all of the locals.At least from all but one of them.One kama'aina in particular who seems to have no interest in bringing Ashley into the fold is her bossy and brooding landlord, Kane Keo. At six-foot-five inches of solid muscle, Kane has a temper almost as dangerous as the rumors that swirl around him. He won't let Ashley close but he won't let her out of his sight either and she quickly learns that the board short clad, barefoot brute is the polar opposite of her cufflink-wearing ex-husband.When Ashley realizes that Kane is the one who holds the key to turning her passion into a viable career she swallows her pride and plays nice with the domineering alpha to get what she wants, and for the first time since trading in her designer heels for flip flops she forges a new path that feeds her soul.But all too soon past and present collide, threatening to take away the very peace that she's been searching for and leaving Ashley to wonder if she's destined for the life she once knew or if she's finally found the perfect paradise to call home.
