A rugged photojournalist dares a reclusive resort owner to bare her best-kept secrets in this sultry story of steamy desire from Donna Kauffman. Tiny, take-charge April Morgan is tougher than she looks, but after one long, smoldering gaze from new guest Jack Tango, she’s buckling at the knees. The attraction is as sudden and pounding as a tropical storm, and just as inescapable. But after one night together, April fears the walls that have kept her safe don’t stand a chance. Jack arrives at Mexico’s sunny beaches bleary eyed and burned out—but April changes all that in an instant. Though the petite powerhouse runs a tight ship, Jack’s instincts tell him she doesn’t trust easily. A man accustomed to going after what he wants, Jack will do whatever it takes to show April he wants much more than a fleeting romance—even if it means forcing her to confront her demons and risk her heart. Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: The Devil’s Thief, Paradise Café, and The Perfect Catch.

The Keys real estate market has become a hot contender as one of the most valuable markets to invest in, particularly since the world's stock markets have started to become so volatile these days. All in all, if you have money and are looking to invest it in real estate, look no further than the Florida Keys. The time is right. The benefits of real estate are many, and one of the most highly valued areas for people to invest in real estate is in the Florida Keys. The Florida Keys has gained a reputation as a solid and dependable market. Even during 2009 when a lot of markets saw their value drop, the Florida Keys remained strong and thus attracted a great deal of investors. It was the Florida Keys' solidity during this period of financial turmoil that brought it to the attention of investors who were desperate for a way to keep the cash flowing. Hotels in the island chain have seen their revenue per available room returns steadily increase. For example, during the general economic downturn in 2009, the Keys proved their resilience by recording only a nominal decline in this rate at 6.3 percent whereas nationally the average reached a 17.4 percent decline. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) from around the country have recently closed deals in the $90 million to $184 million range for acquisition of prime Keys properties. Now the purpose of this book is to introduce the individual investor to the Keys. I make note of REIT investment in the Keys only to illustrate a point—it's an extremely robust market. The key to investment is diversification. If you have capital to invest, and you need a primary home, a second market home to generate rental income, or if you're looking to establish an investment base, look no further than the Florida Keys! In the Keys you can buy everything from a one-bedroom condominium to your own spectacular private island, equipped with a state-of-the-art solar system for self-sufficient living. You can buy a town home, a duplex, a corporate retreat, a single family home or a luxury estate. Spend some time in the Keys and rent a houseboat, a vacation rental or a house while you're looking. The Florida Keys are very popular for Europeans, South Americans and Canadians seeking a real estate haven. You can purchase a residence for cash, or for 20-30% down and finance the balance. The Florida Keys has great popularity as a tourist destination. It is the southernmost part of the United States, which means that it stays warm all year round! This gives it a universal, perennial appeal, as people can visit it during the winter months and enjoy the pleasant weather. The lack of a seasonality factor makes the Florida Keys a superior market to most other markets where tourism is the main source of profit. The Keys are a 126-mile long chain of 1,700 islands. This year alone, almost three million people are expected to visit. If you're looking for stunning beauty, look no further. The Keys are the only subtropical part of the United States. The Florida Keys has become an incredibly profitable real estate market. Increasing high demand for vacation rentals and home rentals has resulted in one of the most lucrative markets that one can possibly plan to invest in. Rental occupancy rates in the Keys are among the highest in the world. This book, written by a couple with expertise in real estate and business valuations, can show you how to own a piece of paradise!

¿A thought-provoking and well-researched commentary on the impact of Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council on Hawaii land-use policies.¿ ¿Harold S. Matsumoto, Director of Planning, State of Hawai`i ¿Startling, provocative. . . . It should be read by all land developers, government regulators, and citizens who care about preserving paradise.¿ ¿Kent M. Keith, President, Chaminade University; Former Director of Planning, State of Hawai`i ¿Useful and succinct. . . a needed clarion call for a more appropriate balance between regulation and pro-active planning. Those who dislike the message that Hawaii can no longer rely so heavily on regulation to preserve the Islands¿ resources and exact `public benefits¿ from developers would, nevertheless, be foolish to ignore it.¿ ¿John P. Whalen, Former Director, Department of Land Utilization, City and County of Honolulu ¿A major contribution of this book is that it presents several alternatives to regulatory taking for preserving environmental quality. . . . While this book focuses on the Hawaiian experience, it offers much for planners and lawyers everywhere.¿ ¿Anthony James Catanese, President and Professor, Florida Atlantic University ¿Callies has again provided a comprehensive review of Hawaii¿s land-use regulatory process. . . . He has presented his point of view that for legal and policy reasons this regulatory system will not effectively preserve what is unique and important about Hawaii.¿ ¿Dan Davidson, Executive Director, Land Use Research Foundation of Hawaii

Since it first rolled off the presses in 1856, The Honolulu Advertiser has been an important force in reporting and shaping the news of Honolulu and, secondarily, the Hawaiian Islands. Established as The Pacific Commercial Advertiser, a four-page weekly, it was the first enduring non-government owned or subsidized newspaper published in the Hawaiian Kingdom. Under its first owner, the son of New England missionaries, the Advertiser became the most successful commercial English language newspaper in the Islands. The paper became a daily in 1882 and in 1921 changed its name to The Honolulu Advertiser. Now owned by Gannett Company, Inc., the Advertiser is one of the oldest newspapers still operating west of the Rockies. George Chaplin, editor-in-chief of the Advertiser from 1959 to 1986, has written a colorful and entertaining insider's account of nearly a century and a half of Advertiser history. He covers the legion of personalities that has worked for the Advertiser over the years: owners (from its first Island owner, Henry Whitney, to its last, the Thurston Twigg-Smith family), publishers, editors, reporters, political cartoonists, photographers, and pressroom people. He reports on issues and historical events that had a powerful impact on the Honolulu community and comments on the newspaper's position regarding each: the sensational Massie trial, the dilemma of Hawaii's Americans of Japanese ancestry during World War II, the labor movement and communism in the Islands, and statehood, among others. He also recalls the many political figures who have waged their media battles within the pages of the Advertiser.Presstime in Paradise is an illuminating and informative look at the internal operations of a newspaper and its relationship with a community that has both influenced it and been influenced by it. It adds significantly to the growing body of literature on the role of the free press in Hawaii.
