Cash-strapped Maui wedding planner Pali Moon can’t believe her luck when a prospective bride flashing a five-carat dazzler pops into her shop, “Let’s Get Maui’d,” to request a glitzy beachside wedding. But then Pali learns the lavish wedding must take place on Valentine’s Day—only nine days away. Oh, and one other little hitch—the groom’s been missing at sea for more than a week. But no worries, the bride assures Pali, with or without the groom the wedding will take place. She’s struck a deal with the groom’s best friend to be the proxy groom, if necessary. Two days before the nuptials, a male corpse floats ashore on a South Maui beach. Looks like the groom’s finally shown up. So now what’s it gonna be—a wedding…or a funeral?

Olivia Kaye has everything. A dream job, great house, great car, and a gorgeous successful boyfriend, Tom…..so why was she so attracted to Jez? What was it about him that made her forget everything for that moment in Hong Kong….leaving her feeling so guilty?
Karma can be a bitch though, and she catapults into their lives in the form of Tom’s new PA, the beautiful and now indispensable Sarah Fischer. Olivia is pretty damn sure that she is after her man, and her life, but does she only think that because of what she has done herself, is she just being paranoid?
Usually so confident and secure, how can she be rational when her job as a Flight Attendant takes her thousands of miles away, worries packed into her crew bag, and things at home out of her control?
Alive: The Story of the Andes Survivors
Spirits were high when the Fairchild F-227 took off from Mendoza, Argentina, and headed for Santiago, Chile. On board were forty-five people, including an amateur rugby team from Uruguay and their friends and family. The skies were clear that Friday, October 13, 1972, and at 3:30 p.m., the Fairchild’s pilot reported their altitude at 15,000 feet. But one minute later, the Santiago control tower lost all contact with the aircraft. For eight days, Chileans, Uruguayans, and Argentinians searched for it, but snowfall in the Andes had been heavy, and the odds of locating any wreckage were slim.
Ten weeks later, a Chilean peasant in a remote valley noticed two haggard men desperately gesticulating to him from across a river.
What was the worst thing you’ve ever done?

But Kacey wasn’t counting on Jake’s older brother Travis still being there. She calls him “Satan” for a reason: she’s never forgotten the way he teased and taunted her. Yet when they meet again, Travis’s gorgeous smile is a direct hit to her heart . . . and Kacey’s more confused than ever. As the days pass, only one thing starts to become alarmingly clear — she never should have accepted Jake’s deal.
