Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Torn between family loyalty and their deep affection for one another, Rafe Easton and Eden Derrington strike an agreement that will bring them together after one final year of pursuing their dreams. For Eden, those dreams involve dangerous medical research with her father and spending time with the mother she never knew, a leper on Moloka'i.
Rafe's dreams are equally noble--managing the family estates and serving in Legislature--until both begin to unravel. Revolution threatens the fragile calm of Hawaii's sovereignty, and the man who murdered Rafe's father now threatens the lives of Rafe's mother and adopted son. With love, danger, and political upheaval demanding his attention, Rafe must commit to a course of action without second thoughts.
Love, beauty, and blessing--the perfect "happily ever after" to a Hawaiian romance--unravel in the Hawaiian Islands of 1892. What will this mean for Rafe and Eden, caught in the Hawaiian Crosswinds?
"Torn between family loyalties, political ambitions, and their commitment to each other, Rafe and Eden must fight to protect the people and place they care about so deeply. The year is 1892 and the small island nation of Hawaii is in turmoil. Rafe Easton and a small but influential band of Hawaiian patriots are quietly pursuing annexation to the United States out of concerns that the monarchy will fall to a less noble power. But Rafe is not the only one with secrets. And as political tensions mount, some of the island's most prominent families are faced with revelations that could unravel everything -- the future of the country and Rafe's future with his beautiful and beloved fiancee, Eden Derrington...And Eden is compelled to join her father in the noble yet dangerous work of medical research among a shunned leper community -- a community that shelters the mother she never knew." -- p.
