Kulani Mahikoa is “The Orchid,” a young, insecure, pro
surfer from a rough background on the Big Island of Hawai’i. He’s Beau Toyama’s
cousin from Hawaiian Lei and a healer with a heart as deep as
the ocean he’s part of. Like many of the great Hawaiians, Kulani epitomizes the
spirit of aloha and love. Kulani’s healing his own wounds, and “The Lost
Boys”--young, homeless abandoned and abused gay boys he cares for.
He meets the lone and lonely New Zealand widower, Rob Masterson--a wounded psychologist who’s trying to come to terms with his husband’s death. When he died, they were separated but still living together. Rob needs to reconcile all the pieces of guilt and love to heal before he can fall in love again.
The age difference raises one barrier, and besides that, Kulani has more layers than Rob--with his own New Zealand heritage and tangled knot of emotion--ever bargained for. Traveling between the South Sea Islands of beautiful New Zealand and the exotic Hawaiian Islands, they forge a bond--two wounded men find a home for their shrapnel-laced souls.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
I read the first in the series a while ago – and reading this was like going back to a favourite holiday destination and catching up with old friends and their adventures. I loved settling back in with the guys, their lives and their loves. Being given sunny surfy days and sultry sexy nights as well as good plot lines was a real treat.
The story unfolds much like an orchid into layers and layers of depth and beauty. And as we learn more about the two leads, from both their points of views, we also see how they intertwine and make each other whole again. Absolutely delicious!
Thank you Ms. Amor for another wonderful story. I look forward to my next visit with pleasure.

Meg Amor ~ a multi-published contemporary author has always believed in love and romance. She writes deep, sensual, romance stories about heartfelt connections and deep soul relationships. Meg feels that passionate, good sex is part of what makes a love story exciting and real. As well as her characters inner workings – their vulnerabilities, emotions and thoughts.
Meg spent a lifetime as a therapist being fascinated, and collecting unusual love stories. She loves to write sensual erotic romance, with committed poly, and gay male/male relationship, romance stories.
Meg handwrote and “published” her first book when she was eleven about her parent’s separation. Constantly told as a child she had a vivid and (over) active imagination—the dawn of the computer era meant she could now take dictation at speed from the interesting characters galloping around her head.
She grew up in New Zealand, and temporarily lives in California with her American fur children, Leo Ray Jr. and Mr. Beaumont, the Ginger Ninjas. Her heart and soul are split between her American home state of Hawai’i in Kona on the Big Island or the sultry, steamy Southern city of New Orleans. Nearly all her books are set in Hawaii or New Orleans, along with snatches of New Zealand for good luck.
Meg’s a gypsy at heart and loves to travel all over the world. She has a love of open cockpit biplanes and loves the gentle waft into the air from a grass strip. Given a choice, she’d eat out most nights. Fine dining, French, Fusion, Afghani and Burmese food are some of her all- time favorites. But her favorite junk food is New Zealand fish and chips cooked in pure fat. Never one to do things by halves, she believes in the motto
