Daughter of Fire — Courtney Sheets

The moment Kalama arrives in Hawaii, the lure of the island and the power of the volcano rush through her like the welcoming caress of a long-denied lover. Pele has called her home to deal with the growing threat against Hawaii and her residents.

There's no time to appreciate the lush landscape -- or the gorgeous backside of the infuriating Jack O'Conner, who wears his disdain of ancient Hawaiian myth like a big, shiny beacon.

The last thing Jack wants is some USGS expert on Hawaiian lore wrecking his research. But Kalama isn't remotely what he expects. Jack's more than happy to let her wreck his research, his bedroom…and anything else she wants. Their attraction is immediate and the sex is scorching. Even amidst growing danger, they can't help but appreciate each other in every gorgeous setting the Big Island has to offer. But when something threatens the Goddess of Fire, it threatens all of Hawaii, especially the budding relationship between Jack and Kalama.
