Where the Trade Winds Blow
Āina O Ka Puʻuwai Series
A contemporary romance set on the Waianae Coast of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi, Where the Trade Winds Blow combines a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers love story with a richly researched portrait of modern Hawaiian life — including the real legal terrain of kuleana land rights, the ongoing struggle for Native Hawaiian homestead access, and the economic pressures of outside development on a community that has endured everything.
Leilani Kahananui, a Native Hawaiian land rights attorney, discovers that Energy Fort will build its Pacific data center campus on top of her family's ancestral kuleana — a 168-year-old land claim buried in the title. She files to block the development. Energy Fort's CEO, Caden Mercer, refuses to concede. The legal conflict becomes personal in ways neither of them anticipated.
Grounded in the real history of Hawaiian land rights, DHHL homestead inequities, and energy justice, the novel uses its romance to illuminate the stakes of outside development on Indigenous-rooted communities. The Waianae Coast — historically underrepresented in literature, deeply complex in reality — is rendered with specificity and care by an author who calls it home.
Where the Trade Winds Blow is the first book in the Āina O Ka Puʻuwai (Land of the Heart) series — a saga following interconnected characters across the Waianae Coast. Each book is a complete romance with its own central couple. The series continues.
