Dark Paradise — Mary Shura Craig

Eager newcomers who cross the Pacific in pursuit of a dream. Proud natives who cling defiantly to ancient tribal rituals. All are called Hawaiians. This is their story…and the story of the mighty Jameson dynasty, which grows to wealth and dominance on Hawaii during the last, great ages of kings.

ROBERT JAMESON, the humble Boston clerk turned empire builder, who searches for a happiness that always eludes him… NAHANA, the beautiful princess whose courageous loves unites her with Robert against the ravages of both nature and men…ROBERT, JR., the rebel who makes a fateful choice between two very different legacies…ELIZABETH, his spirited twin, who joins with foreign conquerors to become the most powerful Jameson of all.
