A doomed marriage. A dangerous island. A love that could cost everything.
Nassau, 1791—Eliza Sharpe thought marriage would offer her freedom. Instead, it becomes her worst nightmare. Recently wed to Charles, a brooding soldier with a dark temper, Eliza arrives in the West Indies only to realize she has walked into a prison of her own making. Her new home hides sinister secrets, and the paradise she dreamed of is laced with cruelty and corruption.
Desperate to escape, she defies Charles by swimming in the forbidden waters—where she meets Jean, a beguiling stranger with a past as mysterious as her own. But rumors swirl around him, and surrendering to temptation could have deadly consequences.
On an island where nothing is as it seems, Eliza must fight for her freedom—and perhaps even find redemption in love.
