When you're dating a Niuhi shark in human form, there's no such thing as a casual Hawaiian fling. The last thing Justin wants is complications. Jilted at the altar, he's spending his pre-paid Hawaiian honeymoon alone-sort of. Sasha, his ex, won't get out of his head. Frustrated, he takes a walk at sunset and discovers a beautiful woman asleep on the sand. But Pua's not really a woman. A shape-shifting Niuhi shark, Pua feels compelled to visit the beach at Lauele. She doesn't care that it's forbidden by her father, the ocean god Kanaloa, or that breaking kapu can only end in blood, tears, and teeth. Justin's a tourist. Here today, gone tomorrow. Nobody'd even miss him. What starts out as a casual flirtation soon turns into a high-stakes cat and mouse courtship as neither Justin nor Pua are who-or what-they seem. ________ Inspired by The Little Mermaid, Pua's Kiss is Book 1 in Lauele Fractured Folktales, reimagined stories inspired by the world's oldest tales retold with a Hawaiian twist. Pua's Kiss features characters from the Niuhi Shark Saga trilogy and other works by Lehua Parker. Chronologically, Pua's Kiss comes before the events in Birth/Hanau and One Boy, No Water, Book 1 in the Niuhi Shark Saga trilogy. It tells the story of how Zader's parents met and the events that ignited the Niuhi Shark Saga trilogy.
