Mystery of the Menehune Bridge: Coworkers to Lovers Adventure

"When summer love meets Menehune legend, anything can happen."

Kauai, 1958. Alexis Annesley arrives at the Coconut Coast Hotel, eager for a break from her mother's world of charity galas and social obligations. Armed with a liberal arts education and a summer goal list that includes "kiss a local under a waterfall," she expects little more than lazy beach days and light flirtations. But when her perfectly packed suitcase explodes at the feet of rugged tour guide Kai Malama, it's the first hint that her summer will be anything but predictable.

Strange, tiny footprints appear beside an ancient stone bridge on the hotel grounds. Midnight hammering echoes through the tropical air. And visiting archaeologist Professor Gerald seems suspiciously interested in local legends about the Menehune-Hawaii's mythical master builders.

When Alexis and Kai discover a star-shaped pattern in the bridge's stonework, they find themselves caught in a race to protect something far more valuable than a forgotten treasure: a sacred ki'i pohaku tablet that could rewrite Hawaiian navigation history. With the help of Kai's wise and formidable grandmother Leilani, they must outsmart those who would plunder the past for profit.

As moonlit stakeouts lead to waterfall kisses, Alexis is faced with a choice she never expected: return to the well-mannered world her mother has mapped out for her, or carve a new path alongside a man who lives by the pull of the stars and the whispers of his ancestors.

A romantic mystery that transports you to 1950s Hawaii, where ancient legends, starlit navigation, and unexpected love prove that the most important discoveries can't be planned-they must be found.
