Book Description
A House in Hana...is the story about Lani Winters, a nursery owner and avid orchid collector in the Hudson Valley, who is of Polynesian descent and was adopted as an infant. Her nursery is struggling, but to make things worse, her boyfriend of six years breaks up with her and wants to be bought out. One day, she suddenly receives a letter from a lawyer in Kahului, Maui, informing her that she inherited a house in Hana from her great-aunt Malani.She travels to Maui and not only to find a house that is in dire need of renovation and has to be fixed up within one year, otherwise it will be sold to an investor who wants to bulldoze it and build oceanfront condos, she also finds out that her mother disappeared from the face of the Earth when she became pregnant and her father, Lani's grandfather, wanted to talk her into having an abortion.When Lani arrives at the house, she finds a painting of a woman who looks exactly like her: It seems that her father was a renowned artist and painted many paintings of her mother and the beautiful tropical surroundings of Hana and Maui. But he also obviously died a mysterious death and all information about his death has been deleted from the internet.Lani also finds a village that has been in a feud since thirty years, divided between the people that were on her great-aunt Malani's side who thought the pregnant girl, Lani's mother, should have all the assistance she could get, and the people that were on the grandfather's side who did not support having a child from a Haole, a white man.Max, the caretaker of the house, who lives in the guesthouse, not only helps Lani evaluate how much work the house needs, but he also helps Lani follow traces of her mother and father while he shows her beautiful sites of Hana and surroundings. They fall madly in love, but when the singer of a Jazz combo shows up at the house more than Lani can tolerate and obviously wants more from Max than just hang out, Lani is not sure whether Max is just using her or really loves her. She withdraws from him until she is sure about his love.The house suffers a final blow which is the straw that breaks the camel's back, but the residents of Hana have a big surprise for Lani.

Life's a Beach

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
USA TODAY BESTSELLER • Sex on the beach has never been so much fun! Jamie K. Schmidt delivers an irresistible tale of second chances, secret identities—and a connection that’s too sweet to miss. When Amelia Parker arrives in Maui, newly single and unemployed, she’s shocked to discover the resort she booked is actually a ramshackle little beachside hotel. At least the scenery is easy on the eyes—as is the toned, laid-back snorkel instructor, “Dude.” After two weeks of sun, serenity, and mind-blowing sex, she even accepts a job as the hotel’s concierge. But what Amelia really wants is to relaunch the place completely. And that means convincing the absentee Wall Street billionaire owner, Samuel Kincaide, to take a chance on her. Samuel has a plan, too: selling off every last reminder of his former life and chilling all day, every day as his slacker altar ego . . . Dude. He loves his romps in the ocean, and under the sheets, with the feisty Amelia. If she discovers his true identity, her boundless enthusiasm and innovative business plan will seriously diminish his hammock time. But when Amelia runs into real trouble on the island, he’ll put everything on the line to keep her safe. He just hopes that the woman who’s falling for Dude will feel the same about Samuel. Praise for Life’s a Beach “Life’s a Beach will sweep you away on a fun and sassy romance you’ll want to last forever.”—New York Times bestselling author Claudia Connor “An unputdownable, laugh-out-loud read, Life’s a Beach is filled with humor and heart.”—New York Times bestselling author Cherry Adair “I can’t remember the last book that made me smile this much. Jamie Schmidt is ridiculously talented—she does fun and flirty every bit as well as she does hot and sexy, with just the right amount of emotional punch.”—USA Today bestselling author Lauren Layne “Life’s a Beach is the perfect sand-between-your-toes, sun-on-your-face, sexy, island escape. Such a great read!”—USA Today bestselling author Mira Lyn Kelly “I highly recommend this hilarious and exciting read. Jamie K. Schmidt is a master at creating the perfect romantic scenes and believable characters. Readers will fall in love with this beautiful Hawaii beach tale.”—Romancing the Book “I really didn’t want to put it down. If you’re looking for a beach read this winter, check this book out.”—Obsessive Book Nerd “Exactly what I needed for a quick weekend read.”—The Romance Factor “[Life’s a Beach] ended on a perfect note for this reader.”—Books of Love “[A] great, sexy novel sure to get your mind off the snow outside your window!”—It’s About the Book “A cute read with some yummy steamy moments along the way.”—Oh My Growing TBR “Filled with enjoyable characters and smexy moments with a happy ending. It can be read as a standalone.”—TJ Loves to Read “Life’s a Beach kept me entertained and I enjoyed the story.”—Little Miss Bookmark Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.
