Even "death do us part" couldn't spoil her wedding day plans... Wedding planner Pali Moon is thrilled when a would-be bride shows up at "Let's Get Maui'd" inquiring about a lavish beach wedding. That is, until she learns it must be on Valentine's Day--just nine days away. Oh yeah, and one other little hitch--the groom disappeared at sea a week earlier. But the bride's convinced he'll be found safe and sound, so she's got a plan--and a man--to do a proxy ceremony if necessary. The day before the big nuptials a man's body washes ashore on a South Maui beach. Has the groom finally shown up? If...

It's Halloween night in Lahaina Town, Maui and the Mardi Gras of the Pacific is in full swing... But wedding planner Pali Moon isn't in costume--she's on a mission. A bridesmaid has vanished and Pali's canvassing Front Street, ducking into every overcrowded watering hole hoping to spot a girl with long red hair and a lingerie model's figure. No luck. Back at her car, Pali opens the door and finds the remnants of a bizarre trick or treat stunt. Turns out, Halloween in Lahaina isn't just a night for island high-jinx, it's also a night for vengeance.

It's her thirty-fifth birthday, but Maui wedding planner Pali Moon is doing her best to ignore it. But then she receives a letter from a lawyer in Hanalei, Kaua'i, requesting her presence at a meeting to discuss an 'urgent family matter.' The letter brings Pali's Kaua'i past rushing back-her birth at a hippie enclave on the North Shore in the 1970's; her father deserting the family never to be heard from again; and, worst of all, her mother's tragic death when Pali was only five. What could a Hanalei lawyer possibly have to say that would be worth dredging that up again? But curiosity and...

Slicing open the afternoon mail rips apart Nola Steven's secure, but tedious, life in Seattle. After 23 years her husband declares their marriage over. Nola finds herself parked on her friend Malia's sofa bed until further notice. When Malia is summoned home to Maui for her father's 75th birthday luau, she persuades Nola to come along. Nola finds Hawaii magical-non-stop sunshine, aloha spirit, and fresh fruit cheaper than canned. And then there's the half-naked sculptor who keeps sneaking up behind her...

Maui wedding planner Pali Moon is taking a week off from sulky diva brides, Devil-Wears-Prada mothers and hung-over grooms. She heads to Honolulu for a bit of sibling bonding with her brother, Jeff. They plan to spend a week playing tourist in the big city-seeing it all, doing it all and eating it all. But after sweating Jeff's long-overdue plane and then being guilt-tripped into meeting her 'new family' from her absent father's side, she wonders if maybe vacation is tougher than the mystery meat the caterer tried to pass off as 'Kobe beef' at her last wedding gig. But a week of vacation is a...

Maui wedding planner Pali Moon gets stuck with lousy chores all the time: refereeing bridesmaid cat fights, sobering up grooms, and battling Botoxed m-o-t-b's over where the stepmother sits at the rehearsal dinner. But this one beats all. In early January she has to tell a Kona-born bride-to-be she's dead. The fine folks at the Vital Records Office insist the birth certificate the bride's using belongs to a dead baby and they won't issue her a marriage license. The wedding can't go on without a license, so Pali goes to Kona to track down the paperwork. Seriously, how hard can it be to locate...

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...

After a month she's bored, homesick and WITSEC's worst nightmare until she lands a job tending a cozy B & B in Lana'i City. Movie mogul Tyler Benson checks in and decides to marry his long-time girlfriend on Lana'i-far from the stalking paparazzi. But before long, the bushes are rustling with reporters and photogs...

Monica Gomez of Rio Blanco, Arizona, is one lucky twenty-nine-year-old. She's smart, pretty, and single. Oh yeah, and a year ago she won forty-five million dollars in a magazine sweepstakes.

Her former boss claims the money is his and he's spent the past year dragging her to court and feeding lurid stories to the tabloid press.
