About Hawaiian Crosswinds
Product description 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? From the Back Cover Rafe Easton hears the dark news that Townsend Derrington is in San Francisco prowling about the house on Nob Hill belonging to Parker Judson, Rafe’s partner in the pineapple plantation. Rafe’s mother, Celestine, is keeping out of sight with baby Kip inside the house. The news is dire enough to convince Rafe to alter his near-term plans in Honolulu. Having come to an agreement with his fiancée, Eden Derrington, to allow her to work for a year on Molokai at her father’s medical clinic while meeting her dying mother, a leper, Rafe makes swift plans to take a steamer to San Francisco to hunt down Townsend who is guilty of Rafe’s father’s death, and now stalking Celestine and Kip.

Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Rafe read the telegraph message from his mother, Celestine, in San Francisco. “Townsend is here. I recognized him standing across the street. I believe he is watching the house. Parker Judson called the authorities but Townsend slipped away. He’s still here, I know he is. Parker has promised that Kip and I will be kept secure. Even so, I’m uneasy.” Townsend’s in San Francisco. Rafe looked off toward the sea. The black water rolled in menacingly. Townsend, who’d allowed Rafe’s father to die in order to have his land and his wife Celestine. Townsend, who’d tried to gain Great-aunt Nora’s financial estate by immobilizing her, or worse, with a drug. It was Townsend who’d alerted the Board of Health to baby Kip’s origin on Molokai in order to take revenge upon Rafe for regaining Hanalei and the pearl beds. And it was Townsend who’d set the torch to old Ling’s hut on Kea Lani, because he knew something about the death of Rafe’s father. The crosswinds of spiritual conflict and danger were beginning to strive again, this time against Rafe’s own soul. It seemed as though the storm would be overturning the structures built on sand before the tide turned, and the winds calmed—if they ever calmed. The challenge to stop Townsend gripped Rafe’s emotions. And stop him, he must. Keno joined him on the hill’s edge. “That devil-lion you mentioned, “crouching at the door?” I think he’s stalking his prey again.”
