Aloha Navy Boy by Holly Hamilton

'Nani James was born in Hawaii. No matter how hard she tries she will never look like an island girl. Compared to her Polynesian best friend, Jessica McHale, Nani will always look like a tourist in the islands she loves. Determined to keep men away, Nani will do anything she can to not let her heart get broken again.

Garret Edwards, a strong and sturdy Naval Officer, has his eyes set on Nani. As the pair get to know each other, Garret has made it his mission to break down the walls that Nani has built around her. Will she let him in or will her broken past come and ruin her all over again?
