drawn to Hawaii, where she manages to land a job in an exclusive

course, it is. Supernatural horrors start manifesting all around
Leigh and her new co-workers, and soon she starts having disturbing
nightmares of impossible creatures calling out to her. To make

reader flipping pages till the very end.”

back on old habits. She finds comfort in the arms of her new boss, an
upbeat hospitality manager who seems almost too perfect. In order to
survive paradise, Leigh will need to learn from her past mistakes or
she will be doomed to repeat them.

Main Characters:
-
- Leigh Ramos
- Jesse Peacock
- Kai
Character Descriptions:
Leigh –
Leigh Ramos is a young woman with an extreme codependency addiction and has been on a streak of bad luck that has lasted her whole life, thanks to her mother’s pattern of running when things go haywire, that she seems doomed to repeat.
Every man she meets seems wonderful, at first, until they all end up being dirtbags who sometimes put her in actual danger.
Despite her best efforts to live her own life, she seems to be forever stuck in a cycle of starting over, and this new life she’s entered into is no different. She only hopes she can break the cycle before it kills her.
Kai –
Ever since he was young, Kai has been searching for a purpose.
As a high school dropout working in a call center, he realized greatness wouldn’t happen to him unless he went out and sought it himself.
Six years later, Kai is one of the heads of the hospitality staff at The Mahalo Club, the most exclusive beach resort in Hawaii. He has everything he could ever want… a job that gives him purpose, a group of loyal co-workers who are also his best friends, and a home in the most beautiful place on earth.
The only thing he’s missing is someone to share it all with.
Jesse –
As far as Jesse is concerned there is nothing more important in this world than family. That’s why he is so fiercely loyal to his uncle, despite him being a meth cook.
Due to Jesse’s natural size, he’s been an enforcer for his uncle’s business for years, and though he doesn’t like to hurt or kill, he will do it if it means protecting his family.
That is until he met Leigh.
