Nurse Wendy Smith promised her mother she'd see the world, starting with beautiful Hawaii. Her promise to herself--to never depend on a man--is harder to keep when navy officer K.T. McAllister jitterbugs into her life. Then Pearl Harbor is attacked and, as Wendy nurses an injured K.T., she learns he too has promises to people back home. Yet as K.T. grows stronger, so do her feelings, and her longing for the forbidden.
