A new job, new friends, and a change of scenery are just what she needs to turn her life around. It doesn't hurt that Kaley's handsome childhood best friend, Noa Kahele, has also moved back to the small resort town. Unfortunately, life on the island isn't quite the peaceful paradise that Kaley was expecting. Not everyone is thrilled about her return-especially Louana, Happy Hula's assistant manager, who thinks that she deserves Kaley's new job. And when the woman is found strangled by a bikini top from the boutique, the police make it clear that Aunt Rikki is their main suspect. But Kaley is determined to prove her aunt's innocence Between dodging a nosy local reporter and sparring with her high school nemesis, Kaley compiles her own list of suspects.
