description: "It was always best to keep to oneself, to stay guarded at all times, and not let anyone have my heart... because marriage, love, romance... all of it was for fools."A modern girl in an old Hawaiian world, Princess Haukea wants nothing to do with love or romance. She would rather travel or seek an adventure. And after she barely dodged her betrothal to the King of Hilo, she wants nothing more than freedom.But upon her return to Waialua, O’ahu, things are not the same. Two mysterious bounty hunters show up in town, and with them, trouble. Haukea finds herself entangled in their business, and no matter how much she resists, she is drawn to one of the hunters.Except… she vowed never to fall in love. As Haukea encounters magic, menehune, and secrets, she must confront her fears… or her life, and the lives of others, will be at a terrible risk.Haukea is inspired by the story of Snow White, as well as Hawaiian mythology, folklore, and culture. Fans of clean romance and happily ever afters will be moved by Haukea, the second book in The Enchanted Hawai‘i Collection, a fairy tale and folklore retelling series set in ancient Hawaii.
