A novel by Dee Dee Edwards
Paradise hides dangerous secrets.
Rebecca Hartwell expected her Maldives honeymoon to be filled with sunshine, ocean breezes, and time with her new husband, Logan Reed. Instead, a frightened woman approaches her with a warning, then disappears before breakfast.

As Rebecca investigates, she uncovers surveillance, fraudulent financial records, and corruption beneath the resort's image. A resort executive with too much access, a grieving family member demanding answers, and staff guarding secrets all seem to have reasons to silence Elena.
As tropical storms gather, Rebecca races to uncover who can be trusted before the truth disappears.
Caught between protecting her honeymoon and pursuing justice, Rebecca must decide what she is willing to risk to uncover a killer.
Escape to paradise, follow the clues, and discover what the sea refuses to keep hidden.
