Meet Jaya Hasen, 30, a workaholic who hasn't had a break in years from her post as Fashion Designer at Hasen House, the company owned by her family. Nepotism, much? Jaya thinks so, too, hence her need to constantly prove herself She lives for her job, neglecting every other aspect of her life: friends, family, her health, and even when out on a date, she's counting the minutes until it's no longer unpolite to leave and go back to work. When burnout threatens to set in and her younger brother invites her to spend a couple of weeks in Kawa Bay, with him and his boyfriend, Jaya doesn't hesitate to say yes, despite fearing she'll end up being the proverbial third wheel. But what promised to be a fortnight of relaxing in the sun soon turns into a hurricane of emotions when she comes across local surfer Song Junhae, a man unlike anyone she's ever met. Stubbornly insisting on listening only to her heart, Jaya finds that the summer fling not meant to last has grown into something else - something she doesn't want to put an end to, despite the disapproval of family and friends. But will she and Junhae be strong enough to face all obstacles just to prove everyone else wrong? And how much is Jaya willing to sacrifice for the sake of a man she barely knows?

"The world's most powerful nation, and more than a dozen of the world's smallest, have been interacting for 200 years. Beginning with whaling in the 1700's, it has continued through many trades, investment, eduction, churches, media, diplomacy and strategic issues. As significant as the movement of Americans to the Pacific is that of 150,000 Pacific Islanders to the USA. This important book documents the growing interaction with the USA to the pinnacle of involvement in World War II. The importance of USA to the Pacific Islands remained high until the end of the 1980's but has declined since then on almost every dimension. While USA will remain significant for the Pacific Islands, its relative profile will continue to decline." -- Back cover.
