A red-hot Hawaiian romance blooms for a buttoned-up botanist who must learn to let go and embrace the ancient voice within her.
After a failed engagement to
a high-society suitor in San Francisco, Lokelani "Lucky" Letwin
returns home to Hawaii, leaving her beloved rosebushes behind. She's desperate
to establish a life of her own-a daunting task for any unmarried female in the
early twentieth century but particularly for one passionate about the science
of plants. A stubborn, song-filled girl now grown into an accomplished woman
Lokelani is haunted by a family tragedy. She is as reluctant to acknowledge her
past as she is to accept the supernatural force building inside her, strong and
inevitable. She is a mākāhā, a Gate, ever connected to the power of the
islands . . . if only she will admit it.
In her quest to retrieve her
roses, Lokelani is reunited with Artemus Chang, a childhood friend, who's now a
handsome and successful lawyer. As the spark between them grows, Artemus agrees
to help her recover her roses, only to discover her kisses leave him literally
breathless. When a mystical teacher enters her life, Lokelani's embrace of the
voice of ancient power bubbling up within her takes on new urgency and new
apprehensions.
Will Lokelani continue to be
bound by guilt and fear? Or will she learn to reconcile her gifts - as both a practical
botanist and a mystical Gate - to sing once more and claim her love?

Award winning author Katherine Kayne writes deeply romantic historical fantasy set in old Hawaii. Her critically acclaimed debut novel BOUND IN FLAME delivers myth, magic and all the sparks promised by the title. The next installment in her Hawaiian Ladies' Riding Society series, BOUND IN ROSES, is available for preorder now.
Katherine's novels are filled with horses and history and happily ever after . . . and heroes strong enough to follow their heroine's lead. She spends a part of each year on Hawaii Island immersing herself in Hawaii's past. Aided of course by the occasional mai tai. Katherine created the world of the Hawaiian Ladies Riding Society to tell the stories of the fearless horsewomen of the islands' ranches. Because who doesn't love a suffragist on horseback? With a bullwhip? Wearing flowers?
If you come along for the ride, be prepared for almost anything to happen. Katherine can promise you fiery kisses, charming cowboys, women who ride like the rainbow to save the day, and that rarest of beasts-handsome men who like to dance.
