About the book: The "From Kona with Love" series depicts multicultural romance, love, loss, and redemption woven into a family saga, set in the beautiful islands of Hawaii. Though interconnected, each installment can be read as a standalone.

When Maele Moana is paired up with Adam Yates to walk down the aisle together at her friend Andie's wedding, it isn't exactly a perfect match. Maele is the daughter of a plantation worker, and Adam is the son of one of the richest men in Oahu.

Their worlds couldn't be more different. But they have one thing in common.

Big Dreams.

Dreams that will take Maele back to Kauai while Adam pursues an incredible opportunity in Los Angeles.

Adam wants to be in her life, and slowly, Maele lets him in. He inspires her to face her fears, and she restores his faith in redemption. But with love comes sacrifice, and the goals they've worked so hard for may end up tearing them apart.

Book Two in the "From Kona with Love" series is set on the island of Kauai. "Where the Sun Rises" is a story about overcoming adversity, the promise of young love, and the valor in letting go.
