Frequently Asked Questions

What is "You Had Me at Aloha" about?

A sparkling fake dating romantic comedy from MULTI-MILLION-COPY bestseller Portia MacIntosh!

Right place. Right time. Wrong man.

Fern never expected to inherit her late gran’s café in Maui. She knows nothing about running a business, so her plan is simple: fly out, sell Dotty’s Café to someone who’ll love it, and head home.

Roman has other ideas. The café sits on hotel land - land he needs for the biggest resort redevelopment of his career - kicking off an increasingly personal email war between them. Roman thinks Fern is unreasonable. Fern thinks Roman is heartless. Neither plans to back down.

As if that wasn’t complicated enough, Fern discovers her best friend Millie has been using Fern’s photos on a dating app - right before they bump into Austin, the gorgeous doctor she’s been flirting with all week.

Millie begs Fern to pretend to be her for one drink. Except one drink turns into a dream date. And then another.

Now Fern is falling for a man who thinks she’s her best friend, fighting a developer determined to demolish her gran’s legacy, and discovering that in paradise no one is quite what they seem.

Fern came to Maui for business, not pleasure. So much for sticking to the plan…
