Blooming in the Wild — Cathryn Cade

Dangers in paradise...
On Hawaii's Big Island to supervise a photo shoot for her sporting goods company, Bella Moran is looking forward to relaxing with her newfound family. As the island works its magic on her Ho'omalu blood, though, something strange begins to happen. In her dreams, she is at one with the untamed rainforest, able to command the trees and flowers with a terrifying power. Unfortunately, she finds no rest in her waking hours, dealing with the sexy, boy-in-a-man-suit star of the shoot. Joel Girand, star of his own TV adventure show, signed on for a relaxing weekend showcasing tropical camping gear. He never expected to fall for an uptight executive type like Bella, but there's something about her lush native beauty that excites the wild places in his soul. In Joel's arms, Bella feels her civilized veneer peeling away. But when it becomes clear someone with a grudge against her family is using deadly force to sabotage the shoot, Bella's frightening dream power manifests in the very clear light of day. And Joel must decide if his heart will let him stand back and let her sacrifice everything--even her life--for her native home.

Warning: A wahine who'll stop at nothing to claim her man. Steamy interlude in the tropical forest, including illicit use of flowers.
