Honeymoon in Honolulu — Ethel Hamill

Prue Tilton had been away too long. Leaning over the rail of the Pacifica, straining for her first glimpse of Hawaii, and home, she was aware that handsome Doug O'Leary was making a play for her. But his romantic words fell on deaf ears. Soon she would be with Matt Kendrick--the man she was to marry.

But things were not to work out as Prue expected. There seemed to be almost a conspiracy to prevent her marriage. First beautiful, brazen Winkie Walker publicly linked Prue's name with that of playboy Brady Edwards. Then there was Prue's hostess, Lucy Yates, whose plans for a fabulous wedding included an indefinite postponement.

And what about Matt? Had he begun to doubt their future together? Fighting against mysterious odds, Prue set out to win back the man she loved.

Returning to Hawaii after an absence of some mothers on the Mainland, Prue Tilton has thoughts only for engineer Matthew Kendrick, whom she expects to marry almost immediately; and Irish-handsome Dougal O'Leary's words of love fall on deaf ears as she leans on the rail of the Pacifica, straining for the first glimpse of Oahu--and Paradise.

But even before the boat docks, Prue begins to feel that she is involved in some mysterious plot to prevent her marriage to red-haired Matt. With the first passengers from the cutter meeting the Pacifica comes boisterous, uninhibited Winkie Walker, to greet Dougal, new manager of her father's radio station KHC. And on being introduced to Prue, Winkie blithely announces that of course she remembers Prue--she's the girl Brady Edwards jilted!

And though Matt seems as attentive as ever, everything seems to conspire to separate them. Lucienne Yates, at whose fabulous home on Diamond Head Prue is a guest, has elaborate plans for Prue's wedding, meaning and indefinite postponement--and everywhere Prue hears her name linked with that of Brady Edwards--ranch-owner, pineapple king, and eternal playboy...
