This novel was previously published as Mochi in Maui under the pen name Evelyn K. Parrish. This edition has been revised and republished under the author’s name. She came to Maui to escape wedding stress. Falling for someone else was definitely not on the itinerary. At thirty-two, Charlotte St. George should be excited about her upcoming wedding. Instead, between launching her food blog, keeping up with her fiancé’s polished Boston lifestyle, and trying to become the woman everyone seems to expect her to be, she’s starting to wonder when her own life stopped feeling like hers. Two weeks in Maui with her sister Chloe sounds like exactly what she needs: sunshine, incredible food, turquoise water, and absolutely no major life decisions. Then she meets Benjamin Toussaint. He’s charming, ridiculously handsome, and—because apparently Maui has a sense of humor—a talented baker. Charlotte has every reason to keep her distance. She’s engaged. He’s recovering from a heartbreak of his own. And neither of them is looking for anything complicated. But after an unexpected adventure throws them together, avoiding Benjamin becomes much harder than Charlotte planned. Between island excursions, unforgettable food, sisterly chaos, and a growing connection she can no longer dismiss, Charlotte begins questioning more than her wedding. Maybe the life she carefully planned isn’t the life she actually wants. And maybe finding paradise means finally being brave enough to choose for herself. Mochi in Maui is a warm, witty clean contemporary romantic comedy filled with tropical escapes, delicious food, sisterhood, self-discovery, and a swoony romance. Perfect for readers who love feel-good beach reads, destination romance, and happily-ever-afters without explicit spice. Book One in the St. George Sisters series.
