Hawaiian Hearts

By: Burch, Kaitel

At thirty-one, Reese Phillips has moving down to an art form. As a travel nurse and lifelong military brat, she's spent her life starting over-new cities, new jobs, new people. It's easier that way: no roots, no heartbreak. But when her latest assignment leaves her restless for something real, a position in Hawaii feels like the perfect reset button-sun, sand, and a chance to finally catch her breath.

Kelly Iona, Oahu's favorite veterinarian, has his hands full with injured strays, nosy neighbors, and a family determined to find him the one. After one disastrous blind date too many, he panics-and invents a girlfriend to get them off his back.

Cue the misunderstanding of the century: everyone thinks Reese is that girlfriend.

What starts as a harmless cover story soon becomes a mutually beneficial arrangement-until stolen glances and late-night beach walks blur the lines. As Reese's departure date looms and Kelly's secret unravels, she has to decide: keep running, or take a chance on the one person-and the one place-that finally feels like home.

This slow-burn fake-dating romance delivers big laughs, he-falls-first moments, found family, and vibrant Hawaiian culture. It will have you laughing until you cry and longing for Kelly, your new fictional boyfriend.
