One Touch of Paradise — Laureen Kwock

T-shirt painted Annie Frazier came to Hawaii to develop her skills, and she longs to be known as a legitimate artist. So when a handsome stranger at a craft fair ruins her precious shirts and offers her a measly five bucks each to replace them, she is outraged! After his check bounces, adding insult to injury, she has no choice but to hunt him down and give him a pieces of her mind--and get her money!

Sam Caldwell is sufficiently undaunted by Annie's outspoken nature to ask her out, but he has reservations about the fact that she's an artist. And when Annie rejoices over her selection for a major island art exposition, she finds out how deep Sam's misgivings really go. Her feelings for him are growing strong, but his determination to keep an artist out of his heart is even stronger. She now had the recognition she's been hoping for in her career--but will Sam ever accept her for who she is?
