In the ashes of paradise, can faith endure, love survive, and courage rise above the lies and betrayal of war?

In the idyllic beauty of pre-war Hawaii, naval nurse Evelyn Hartley envisions a future filled with purpose, love, and the vibrant hope of a life as radiant as the tropical blossoms around her. But when the attack on Pearl Harbor shatters that dream, Evelyn is thrust into a world of devastation, deception, and doubt. With her faith shaken and her heart torn, she must find the courage to navigate the unthinkable.

As war rages, Evelyn’s path crosses with two men whose lives mirror the turmoil of their times.

James, a civilian mechanic hailed as a hero for his bravery during the attack, harbors secrets that cast shadows over his valor. Could his rumored ties to Japanese spies endanger the very sailors he fought to save?

David Higa, a reserved fisherman turned military translator, carries a quiet strength—and a web of mysteries. Drawn to David's depth and resilience, Evelyn struggles to reconcile her growing feelings with the suspicion that he may be hiding something dangerous.

Amid the chaos, Evelyn finds an unexpected refuge at a flower farm nestled in the hills, where she meets Lani, a wise Hawaiian elder whose mentorship proves life-changing. Through the sacred art of lei-making, Lani imparts lessons of faith, healing, and the enduring spirit of aloha. As Evelyn learns to weave fragile petals into symbols of resilience, the leis become not just tools of resistance but powerful messages of hope and grace amidst the darkness.

Set against the breathtaking yet turbulent backdrop of Hawaii during World War II, Love, Leis, and Lies is a story of survival, love, and the unyielding power of faith. Evelyn must confront her own fears, rediscover her faith, and decide who she can truly trust when the stakes are life, love, and the future of a war-torn paradise.

Perfect for fans of Kristin Hannah’s The Nightingale and Kate Quinn’s The Alice Network, this inspirational novel weaves the gripping historical drama of wartime courage with the tender romance and spiritual depth of a woman’s journey to rediscover hope. With richly drawn characters, evocative descriptions, and themes of redemption, Love, Leis, and Lies is a tale that will linger in your heart long after the final page.
