Description for ALOHA LOVE by Yvonne Lehman: JANE WANTS A BIG ADVENTURE BEFORE SHE SETTLES DOWN. Jane Buckley is engaged to Texas oil baron Austin Price. She wonders if they'll finally plan their wedding for a date in 1890. But before settling down, Jane jumps at the chance of a voyage to the kingdom of Hawaii with her exuberant aunt. The adventure in paradise becomes more than a series of spectacular views and beautiful beaches. Jane begins to question her own faith and character. Will her desire to help a man and child jeopardize her relationship with Austin? Rancher Mak MacCauley cannot escape the haunting memories of his young wife's death until he takes revenge upon the horse that killed her. There's no room in his life for another woman, and he allows Jane Buckley near him only because of his daughter's needs and the engagement ring on Jane's finger that means she won't pursue him. The Hawaiian word for love, aloha, is used in both greeting and farewell. But given the opportunity to experience true love, will Jane and Mak welcome it, or will they allow fear to drive it away? "KNOW YE NOT THAT THEY WHICH RUN IN A RACE RUN ALL, BUT ONE RECEIVETH THE PRIZE? SO RUN, THAT YE MAY OBTAIN." --I Corinthians 9:24 Heartsong Presents #844, March, 2009.
