From bestselling author Isla Dean comes the second story in the Tropical Temptation Series. Spirit, independence, and imagination have all driven Alexa Black-of the famous Black family-to live her dreams as a filmmaker. But when those dreams start to shatter, her past appears in the form of Cade McGinnis when he pulls her from the Pacific Ocean just off the coast of Kauai where they first met as sixteen-year-olds. High up on the emerald mountains that overlook the deep blue bay, the truth of the past and the passion of the present collide. Alexa, a sweeping and spontaneous woman, and Cade, a stoic and steady man, must decide if their love will withstand adventures of both sea and heart, so they can begin again, together.

During the nineteenth century tens of thousands of Chinese men and women crossed the Pacific to work, trade, and settle in California. Drawn initially by the gold rush, they took with them skills and goods and a view of the world which, though still Chinese, was transformed by their long journeys back and forth. They in turn transformed Hong Kong, their main point of embarkation, from a struggling infant colony into a prosperous international port and the cultural center of a far-ranging Chinese diaspora. Making use of extensive research in archives around the world, Pacific Crossing charts the rise of Chinese Gold Mountain firms engaged in all kinds of transpacific trade, especially the lucrative export of prepared opium and other luxury goods. Challenging the traditional view that the migration was primarily a "coolie trade," Elizabeth Sinn uncovers leadership and agency among the many Chinese who made the crossing. In presenting Hong Kong as an "in-between place" of repeated journeys and continuous movement, Sinn also offers a fresh view of the British colony and a new paradigm for migration studies.
