     Hannah Roberts is always the bridesmaid and never the bride until the day she wins a Hawaiian honeymoon. The free trip convinces her reluctant fiancé to take the plunge, but he abandons her during a layover, leaving her to arrive on Maui single and alone.
 
     Strangely relieved, she tries unsuccessfully to break the news to the contest organizers, who expect to write a story and take pictures of the newlyweds.
 
     Hannah encounters astronomer Jeremy Gordon one romantic island evening and love blossoms in the balmy paradise. When Jeremy discovers Hannah is staying in the honeymoon suite, he thinks she's married and his universe is turned upside down. Is Hannah destined to be alone or is her happiness with Jeremy written in the stars?

The Reviews . . .

. . . Marks offers a wholesome, slim sophomore effort that readers of chaste romances will relish.
                                                             —Publishers Weekly
 
. . . This concise novel is snappy rather than steamy; there are no raunchy sex scenes or breathy dialogue, which will be a relief for some readers, while others may be disappointed. Marks is still finding her legs as a romance author, but she has the happy ending down pat. —Booklist
