The Hawaiian Affair

Paradise has secrets. Some are deadly.

When Leila Reynolds inherits her aunt's once-beloved bed and breakfast on the Big Island of Hawaii, she hopes the island air will help heal a shattered heart. Instead, she walks into a mystery that refuses to stay buried.

Her aunt Kiki's death was ruled an accident... but the abandoned rooms, the hushed locals, and the ranch manager who won't meet her eyes tell a different story. The charming B&B that once thrived with laughter and guests now feels haunted by something unseen... and unsaid.

As Leila sets out to restore the property-and herself-she uncovers troubling truths about her aunt's final years, a secret engagement no one mentioned, and warnings disguised as friendly advice. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: someone doesn't want Kiki House reopened, and they'll do whatever it takes to keep the past quiet.

Against a backdrop of crashing waves, lush hillsides, and island sunsets, Leila must decide whom she can trust-and how far she's willing to go for the truth.

Because in paradise, not everything beautiful is safe.

A richly atmospheric mystery filled with island charm, buried secrets, and quiet menace, The Hawaiian Affair is perfect for readers who love slow-burn suspense, strong female leads, and mysteries where the setting is as captivating as the secrets it hides.
