Book 1 — Opening Scene.
Welcome to Maui. Paradise has secrets.
Zara Cruz stepped off the plane in Maui wearing glossy sunglasses, glossy lips, and a fake identity tucked neatly into her purse. To the world, she was just another travel blogger chasing sunsets and smoothie bowls.
But her real mission was anything but tropical fun: infiltrate a luxury island resort rumored to be laundering cartel money, and uncover the truth behind a disturbing chain of disappearances involving young female tourists.
Her prime suspect? A ridiculously hot surf instructor with a body carved by waves and a grin too smooth to trust.
Leo Thompson — the man who teaches women how to ride waves… and maybe fall in love while they’re at it.
Zara isn’t here for romance. She’s here for answers. But the deeper she goes, the blurrier the lines become. With each beachside flirtation and stolen glance, danger closes in — and so does he. Because in this paradise, nothing is what it seems. And this mission? Could cost her her heart…or her life.
