Synopsis

Travel to the bright Caribbean for love, romance, and passion in this sizzling summer read from a nationally bestselling author and "Queen of the Summer Novel" (People). After uprooting her life in the States, Irene Steele has just settled in at the villa on St. John where her husband Russ had been living a double life. But a visit from the FBI shakes her foundations, and Irene once again learns just how little she knew about the man she loved. 

With help from their friends, Irene and her sons set up their lives while evidence mounts that the helicopter crash that killed Russ may not have been an accident. Meanwhile, the island watches this drama unfold—including the driver of a Jeep with tinted windows who seems to be shadowing the Steele family.

As a storm gathers strength in the Atlantic, surprises are in store for the Steeles: help from a mysterious source, and a new beginning in the paradise that has become their home. At last all will be revealed about the secrets and lies that brought Irene and her sons to St. John—and the truth that transformed them all.

About Elin Hilderbrand

Elin Hilderbrand was born and raised in Collegeville, PA, but spent most of her childhood summers playing on Cape Cod. Her father died in a plane crash when she was sixteen years old, so unfortunately that ended the Cape trips. Her summers were now spent working, but she promised herself that for the rest of her life she would always have a real summer. She moved to Nantucket in July 1993, took a job as "the classified ads girl" at a local paper, and later started writing. Elin says she does her best writing while on the beaches of Nantucket or along the beautiful streets of Beacon Hill in Boston. She is a breast cancer survivor and currently lives in Nantucket along with her three beautiful children.

4.5 - All done and loved this one even more than I thought I would! Such a great ending to this series. In true Elin fashion, we’re introduced to so many characters and I LOVE when she writes from the POV of someone or something that you don’t expect to really round out the whole story. I’m honestly......more

Goodreads review by Theresa on August 14, 2020

This was a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy set in the Virgin Islands. I loved all the characters because they were flawed and didn’t always make the right choices, but they all did their best to be good people, which is something we could use more of in the world. I really enjoyed this series,......more

Goodreads review by Regina on April 21, 2021

Troubles in Paradise, you say? Oh let me count the ways: - Who the heck is the narrator? Told in first person present tense, three books in and I still can't figure out who the "I" is that's telling the story. I even went back and reread the beginning of this one for clarification, which wasn't to be......more
