She found the man of her dreams in Hawaii...until a Hawaiian curse brought her nightmares to life.
When perfumer Jessica Halston is hired to create a fragrance embodying the beauty of the tropics, she heads to Hawaii on the research trip of her dreams. Amidst the tiki idols and moonlight, she's hoping for a little romance -- but nothing prepares her for the dark and sexy Dr. Jet Atwood, an anthropologist devoted to preserving the magic and superstition of the islands.
A firelit beach ceremony ignites sparks of passion for Jessica and Jet. But while they're burning up the sensual Hawaiian nights with white-hot lust, Jessica's arrogant boss is burning with jealousy. Determined to come between them, he frames Jessica for an outrageous insult to the goddess Pele -- and unleashes a cavalcade of furious Hawaiian ghosts and gods.
Overnight Jessica's life becomes a desperate attempt to escape long-dead Hawaiian warriors, malicious forest spirits and one very angry goddess. To save her life, she must find a way to break the curse -- and persuade Jet to return to her open arms.
