Under a Maui Moon is the first book in Robin Jones Gunn's Hideaway series about a woman who jumps at the chance to escape to paradise. The summary says: "Carissa doesn't know who she is anymore. She and her husband, Richard, are recent empty-nesters; Richard is spending more and more time at work counseling his volatile clients and less time at home with his wife; his clients are starting to show up at the house at night causing Carissa to feel scared in her own home; and to top it all off, Carissa' boss informs her that she's been "let go". She wonders where God is in all of this since He doesn't seem to be around to protect her - and she's already stopped trusting her husband. She's offered time at a hideaway on Maui. Hiding seems like the best way to respond to life's overload, and the thought of being alone sounds like just the right balm to soothe her wounded heart. The languid Hawaiian sun, white beaches, and warm-hearted people bring respite but meeting handsome Kai causes Carissa to toy with the idea of being romantically involved with him." Jones Gunn is best known for her Sisterchicks series. Under a Maui Moon is out in July.
