Whitewater #2
The Cloud Holders
"Whitewater—I hate you!"
And she hated this "fool ritual" that had sent her halfway around the world.
But Piper Gordon had promised her grandmother that she'd return the centuries—old funeral necklace to Hawaii, as the law now demanded. Even if it meant destorying the beautiful object by sacrificing it to the goddess Pele. Even if it meant spending time with a man she was determined to dislike—David Whitewater, a man who had once ruthlessly prosecuted her grandmother.
To Piper's fury, the Native American lawyer had been appointed to accompany her to Hawaii. But was it just David Whitewater and what he represented that disturbed Piper so deeply, or was it the growing attraction between them?

Under the insistence of her grandmother, Piper reluctantly travels to Hawaii islands with her sword enemy, lawyer David Whitewater, to destroy a Hawaiian necklace. She resented David because he dragged her grandmother to court once and won the case, and didn't want to do the destruction rituals under his cynical supervision, but she had no choice. Gradually, she becomes dependent and enchanted to his presence and opens her mind to the Hawaiian and its legendary heritage.
Very intriguing and informative to read. :)

A standard light-hearted love-hate relationship set in Hawaii. The characters don't get much depth, but the story was fun and interesting.

Pretty much your typical Harlequin romance. It was okay.
