Hidden in a Hawaiian Sunset (The Broken Woman Cycle #1)

Malia Kenway was born with the world at her feet. Raised on an island called Moku Nani, she lacked companionship until she met Nathan Arthur Scott. They grew up together in the beauty of Hawaii, but were separated when he left for a university in London. When he returns eight years later, he is a completely different person. As if on cue, Malia's parents are in a horrific car accident. Then the family lawyer tries to blackmail her in a scheme to steal her father's wealth. A man called Mr. M orchestrates this chaos from the shadows and Malia comes to suspect that Nathan is more involved than she would ever want to believe.

Nathan Arthur Scott was a penniless orphan when he met Malia Kenway. Raised by an emotionally cold and distant relative in Hanalei, he found refuge in the strange Hawaiian girl who lived on an island just outside Kauai. He was loved and accepted by her family and grew up as happily as possible, but he could not forget his homeland. He left for London when he was eighteen and studied medicine for eight years. Over this time, his life changes so drastically that he barely recognizes the man he used to be. When he finally returns to Hawaii, he catches glimpses of who he once was and it isn’t long before he begins to yearn for a future much like his past.
