Early One Morning — Aubree Lane

Under the guise of saving her best friend's marriage, Annie Harper catches the red-eye out of LAX to Oahu. Less than twenty-four hours after hearing Marissa wanted to kiss their old high school crush, Annie sails away with the handsome owner of the Erika Rose excursion boat. She only meant to keep Terence Javier from locking lips with Marissa, but the moment she learns his little girl needs an advocate, Annie brings her friend back into the fray and destroys the remnants of Marissa's anniversary vacation. Caught between two women from the mainland, Terence Javier finds himself at a crossroad. Ten years ago, he had the dubious honor of having his high school photograph drooled on by Annie and Marissa's choir class. If not for his daughter and the ensuing custody battle, he wouldn't have given either woman more than an appreciative glance. When Marissa's credentials check out, he has little choice but to accept the savvy lawyer's offer of help. Knowing he's walking a tightrope, Terence prays he can purge the beautiful Annie from his mind and keep the balled fist of Marissa's jealous husband away from his nose.
