Hawaiian Holiday

When my best friend gifts me a Christmas cruise package to Hawaii, I’m on it like flies on my ex-fiancé’s face. Twelve days and nights with complete strangers; no cell phones or internet. Sounds like the perfect getaway for me. I’m in trouble as soon as I board the S.S. Bird of Paradise. The first person I run into is - Jordan Reed, the boy who pulled my pigtails, threw spit wads at me, and made grade school a nightmare come true.

Screenwriter Angelina Conte has been butting heads via email with the studio’s unbelievably nitpicky scientific advisor, volcanologist Dr. Caleb Sloane. Between his scheduled lectures aboard a Hawaiian cruise, she intends to prove that she’s no Tinseltown hack. Caleb had planned on using this Christmastime cruise to adjust his workaholic attitude. A tough assignment when he’s tangled with the movie studio’s surprisingly stubborn scriptwriter. Startlingly, their chemistry is off the charts.

Sophie Lillie is looking forward to spending the holidays in Hawaii with her family on their annual Christmas cruise. It won’t be the same this year, however, without her mother. Maggie’s death has drawn the family closer together, but when Sophie’s father shows up with his new fiancée, their fragile reunion is torn apart. Sophie turns to an unlikely stranger for comfort, a man who is dealing with a betrayal of his own.
