A heartwarming tale of love, loss, and second chances set against the backdrop of the Hawaiian Islands.

When Maele Moana, a plantation worker's daughter, is paired with wealthy Adam Yates at a wedding, their different worlds collide. Dreams pull Maele back to Kauai, while opportunity takes Adam to Los Angeles. Can their bond survive the distance and their diverging paths?

Reviews

“[An] atmospheric romance … Gomez and Polaha’s descriptions of Hawaii are postcard worthy. The breezy pace and gorgeous setting will stoke readers’ wanderlust.” —Publishers Weekly

 

"A sweet, closed-door, multicultural romance [that] will resonate with readers." —Booklist
 

“Gomez and Polaha craft a compelling, clean romance that centers not just on business ambitions, but the impact of deception, honesty, and change in relationships. Its story of love, not giving up, trust, and reinventing one's life grips readers with promise and hope for a different future. Moments Like This is highly recommended for romance readers looking for an exploration of the fine line between a woman's strength and her ability to accept the vulnerability and promise of love.” —Midwest Book Review
