Description
Pretty, exotic Leilani Torres just wants to put the past behind her and move forward. Like her long-lost doctor father, she heals people. But can she heal herself? Her family fled a troubled Pacific island for America when she was nine, leaving her father for reasons she’s never understood. But she knows that in that dangerous country, she had to learn to shoot with a dead aim.
Everything changes the night she meets Justin Halverson, a lovable computer nerd with a biting sense of humor. Brokenhearted after his girlfriend of seven years leaves him, he just wants to drown his sorrows. But he finds more trouble than he’s looking for when thugs assault him. Leilani comes to his rescue. They are attracted to each other, but Leilani fears Justin is on the rebound, or has a rescuer complex. She doesn’t want to get involved.
Just as Leilani begins to open up to Justin, she finds her past won’t remain buried. A friend of her father arrives with shocking news. Caught in a deadly political web, her father was ready to commit a horrific crime. Can Leilani deal with the truth? But hero or villain, he is her father; and only she and Justin can rescue him from the island she’d left so long ago.
The many faces of love spun into a tale of past political intrigue and a young woman’s inner journey, accepting her past.
