      • 6 hours of reading

      Jack Christie doesn't believe in dreams, myth or magic. He believes in facts, but suddenly he is challenged by a tall, dark, unreal stranger. A mysterious Molokai Man. Uptight New York writer Jack Christie inherits his uncle's estate including a small publishing house he never knew Cameron Christie owned. Among Cameron's papers are the deed to an old house on the remote island of Molokai-they call it the last Hawaiian Island-and a court summons. Cameron is being sued by relatives of one of the last remaining survivors of the former leper colony, Kalaupapa. Cameron published a journal sent to him by the man who relatives say could not have written the book since he does not have the use of his hands and is senile. In an effort to hold onto the small amount of money that he's inherited, his uncle's hard-earned business, not to mention Cameron's reputation, Jack reluctantly travels to Molokai to solve the mystery. This shut-down New Yorker encounters more than he bargained for on this island shaped by myth and magic. He meets an island man who could be straight out of his dreams. And Jack, who has always managed to keep his emotions under control, isn't sure he's ready to fall for a hot, sexy Molokai Man.
