Trouble in Paradise — Cindy Jacks

Meeting and marrying in one of the most romantic places on earth, Clarissa and Mika seem to have it all -- promising careers, plans for the future and passion that burns bright enough for everyone to see. But all is not as it seems.

Family is central to Mika, and he's ready to start a brood of his own with the woman he loves. A haole from the Mainland and from a broken home, Clarissa isn't as eager to jump into parenthood. When Mika's hunky cousin Sione declares he's always had feelings for Clarissa, crystal-blue waters turn cloudy and stormy.

Drawn to Sione and his rebel-without-a-pause ways, Clarissa struggles with her love for Mika and her desire for freedom. Mika sets her aflame, body and heart, but Sione seems to see into her soul. Unless Clarissa and Mika can find a way to bridge the divide, it's trouble in paradise for both of them.
