Moloka'i Lullaby

It's less than a month before Maui wedding planner Pali Moon's own wedding when she signs up one last client before taking a few months off. This one's not going to be easy, though. The couple insists the nuptials take place on Moloka'i—a place Pali hasn't been in over twenty-five years. But Pali figures, why not? After all, the island is part of Maui County, so it's well within bounds of her "Let's Get Maui'd" business zone. Getting vendors and top-quality supplies to the remote location may prove a bit tricky, but Pali's never shirked from a challenge. The logistics prove difficult, but the bride's downright insufferable. Pali relishes everything Moloka'i has to offer—the mule ride, the hot bread, the solitude—but by the time it's over, a man is dead and Pali's left wishing she'd never agreed to this "one for the road" wedding the first place.
