The Spoils of Eden - Rafe Easton rescued an abandoned baby from certain death on a forbidden island. Now that courageous act could cost him his pending marriage and reputation. The Hawaii of 1891 is not untamed as it was when the first missionaries arrived, but the dangers haven’t disappeared. Power, wealth, and ambition still drive the affairs of island life, and Rafe Easton is poised to win big on all three—except for one thing. The woman he loves is walking away from their promise of life together on account of a baby boy…and the forsaken people of the island he came from. For her part, Eden Derrington must choose between her father’s life-long dream of curing leprosy, and a life of privilege with the man she’s loved since childhood. Will Rafe wait for her while she serves alongside her father? And what if she herself falls victim to the dreaded disease that took her mother many years ago? Set against the backdrop of tropical paradise, revolutionary intrigue, hidden motives, and deadly secrets, The Spoils of Eden sheds light on Hawaii’s colonial era and the men and women whose sacrifices yielded such unexpected results.
Hawaiian Crosswinds - Torn between family loyalties, political ambitions, and their commitment to each other, Rafe and Eden must fight to protect the people and place they care about so deeply. The year is 1892 and the small island nation of Hawaii is in turmoil. Rafe Easton and a small but influential band of Hawaiian patriots are quietly pursuing annexation to the United States out of concerns that the monarchy will fall to a less noble power. But Rafe is not the only one with secrets. And as political tensions mount, some of the island’s most prominent families are faced with revelations that could unravel everything—the future of the country and Rafe’s future with his beautiful and beloved fiancee, Eden Derrington. Just as the enemy of righteousness stalks his prey, danger prowls Hawaii’s beaches and pineapple plantations. The man who murdered Rafe’s father now threatens his mother and adopted son. And Eden is compelled to join her father in the noble yet dangerous work of medical research among a shunned leper community—a community that shelters the mother she never knew.
