The Original Harmless Five

Anna DeWinter hasn't always had the best of luck with men. From early on, she learned hard lessons to never trust them, and it's why she keeps her relationships purely superficial. The only man she trusts—other than her father—is Max. He's always been the guy she could count on to support her dreams, even if she knows she isn't the woman for him. She's always been his complete opposite.

Cynthia Myers knows she's being dramatic, but her life is kind of a mess. She dumped her fiance and her father disowned her. Still, she has never been so happy in her life. Or, at least she thinks she is. That is, until that ex-fiance gets married and introduces her to a man who turns her world upside down. Chris Dupree's last relationship crashed and burned over a year ago. It left him scarred and wary, unable to even think of dating. That is, until he comes face to face with the sweetest Georgia magnolia he has ever met.

Evan Chambers knows he's rough around the edges. He earned those scars in the worst kind of childhood. Now, he's a successful businessman, living in paradise. The only ripple in his perfect life is May Aiona. She soothes his worst wounds. Being near her leaves him breathless and feeling like a teenager, but thankfully she's oblivious to his desires. She's ready to take control...by letting go.

Once upon a time, Dee Sumner was the quintessential mafia princess. At least, she was before she sees her father kill someone and she has to go into hiding. Years on the run haven't been easy. She can't have long term friendships and she absolutely stays away from any kind of romantic entanglements. Of course, that doesn't stop her obsession with her boss. Micah Ross has his pick of gorgeous women. Running the kind of club he does, they all but throw themselves at him. But the novelty of that has grown stale. He wants something more challenging, and the only woman he's interested in is Dee.

Once a celebrated pastry chef, Jocelyn Dupree is rebuilding her life. A horrific work experience has left her battered but not broken. She arrives in Hawaii ready to rebuild her life and career. Romance...that's just not that important right now.
