Honoring Noelani

There could be nothing but trouble lusting after his best friend's cousin, but for some reason he can't help himself. Somewhere along the line the tomboy he used to know has turned into a beguiling Hawaiian goddess. However, knowing that he could ruin a lifelong friendship still doesn't defer prestigious nightclub mogul and charismatic rogue J.T. Takiyama, especially when he's determined to protect his childhood friend, Noelani Choy, from nefarious men.

Unfortunately, the stubborn fashion designer has no desire for him. Or any man for that matter. But who could blame her when she's mending her broken heart over a lost love who turned out to be a homicidal maniac. Throw in some dangerous Yakuza members bent on taking over his business and what happens next is any one's guess.
