A hot summer beach—
A marriage gone wrong—
Daring eyes and daring love—
Betrayed by a secret passion.

A fast-paced novel that sparkles with passion, mystery and suspense. A perfect summer read, or cozy-by-the-fire adventure.
—Emma Sheffington

Kim feels trapped in a loveless marriage to a jealous, wealthy older man. He blames her for crippling him in an auto accident that he himself caused. Kim strives to make the marriage work, despite her husband’s blame, verbal abuse, and bitterness. When she meets a wickedly handsome man on the beach, she fights not to want him, not to want a new life and not to fall in love.

But Derek is seductive and irresistible—a former soldier who has recently come to town to start a landscaping business. Kim falls hard for him, as he does to her. Although Kim wants a divorce, her husband finds out about their affair and devises a plot to destroy them both. They must struggle to survive a web of lies, deceit and dangerous passion.
