Twelve years ago, ambitious Miki Ai'Lee left her native Hawaii seeking adventure. Now thirty, Miki is a renowned and feted professor of art history in San Francisco. But when her grandmother's illness draws her back to Hawaii, Miki realizes she has been gone too long. When she returns, she accidentally meets her first love, Alex, who bears scars that he is unwilling to explain.
Miki and Alex's families have known each other for four generations. Four generations of animosity and death, corrupt politics, and international murder.
Alex's world has been the high-stakes world of art theft. Miki's is the high-society glamour of art collectors. But now her grandmother is ready to share their family's darkest secret, if only Miki will listen.
When the old world of tradition and the new world of opportunity collide—forcing Miki to choose between the man she loves and the heritage that holds her—she finds that the whispers of tradition are once again at odds with her own desires.
