Just as Tess Nelson is poised to take a well-deserved step up the corporate ladder, it's yanked out from under her. With no job and nothing to fill her days--just a nonrefundable ticket for a trip to Hawaii--Tess decides a tropical vacation is just what she needs. But her journey to paradise is a disaster from the beginning. First, she sprains her ankle at the airport. Then there's the lost contact lens and the lost luggage, the lightning stormat a luau, and the hotel fire. Not to mention the approaching hurricane. And the attractive, annoying young man who keeps crossing her path--and really shaking her up. All Tess wants to do is get her life back under control. But God, it seems, has something else in mind--like opening her heart to everything her life could be.
