Becca Copeland’s life is at a standstill. Divorced, her son off at college, and desperate for some excitement, Becca makes the fateful decision to celebrate a friend’s birthday on a Caribbean cruise. Following a nasty blow up at dinner among her friends, and spurred by breakfast rum runners at a Tiki Bar, Becca knows she needs a change. It’s going to be a drastic one! Determined to shake it up, Becca chooses to stay in paradise!
What could go wrong?
Becca walks away from her cruise ship in Key West, ready to live a life of adventure. But she discovers that life can still be messy even in gorgeous tropical surroundings. Becca ends up with more than she could ever have anticipated…new friends, new job, and maybe even a new man! However, you can’t always leave your past behind, and things are rarely what they seem.
Becca’s old world soon collides with her new one. She discovers adventure and excitement aren’t all they are cracked up to be, as she unwittingly involves herself in something dangerous.
Life’s finally turning out the way Becca Copeland had imagined when she jumped ship last summer and moved to Key West. With the dangers of the previous year behind her, and her career as an artist taking off, she dives headfirst into her new romance with Harry Brennan. When he invites Becca to join him on his yacht for a month-long cruise around the Caribbean, it sounds like a dream vacation.
It should have been perfect…
But just as Becca is starting to believe she might actually get her “happily ever after”, a hurricane strands them at the same resort as Becca’s ex-husband Jake and his mistress. Becca can’t believe her bad luck as she finds herself with a front row seat to their wedding. To make matters worse, when one of the wedding party is murdered, Becca finds herself thrown into the investigation. She is forced to trust an unexpected ally from her past in order to solve the mystery and save her family.
Harry’s secrets, as well as her own, are revealed and threaten everything they have built together. Will their love be strong enough to survive the betrayals?
Ultimately, Becca will have to decide where her loyalties lie and just how much she is willing to sacrifice for love!
How can you discover the truth, if you are lying to yourself?
With last summer’s heartbreak behind her, Becca focuses on putting her life back together in Key West. Swearing off men, she concentrates on her friends, her paintings, and volunteering at a local children’s charity. When she stumbles across a unique piece of art, in a new friend’s historic home, she suspects it may be a legendary, lost relic.
But with Becca, nothing is simple, and soon her life is more complicated than ever!
As the secrets of the relic are revealed, more deception comes to light, and she is reminded once again—you can’t outrun your past!
To make matters worse, Harry has returned to Key West, but the choices he is making and the people he is associating with make Becca wonder if she ever really knew him at all.
And what does it say about her that she can’t stay away?
