Welcome Reluctant Stranger by Evy Journey
For years, questions plagued Leilani: Where is her father, and why was the rest of her family forced to flee their country when she was nine ? But now, all she wants is to dedicate herself to healing people, like her father did.
When she rescues Justin—a drunk computer nerd nursing a breakup—who was being assaulted by thugs on a deserted street, she remembers acquiring her dead aim as a child, and realizes she can’t run away from the past, Not long after, she’s devastated to learn why her family abandoned their privileged Pacific island life—her father was a key figure in a deadly political web.
Is her father still alive? Is he a hero or a villain? With Justin’s help, she searches for her long-lost father. But can she forgive him? And can she reconnect with her roots and be at peace with who she is?
