Passion, Posturing and Premonition on
Paradise Isle
With a sultry setting and
the glitz and glamour of the rich and anonymous, allow R.S.Charles to
indulge you in a captivating adventure of interwoven lives, loves and
desires played out in a privileged society which devotes itself to
rumor, insincerity, self-indulgence and, above all, revenge.
Immersed in
a history of folklore and intrigue, a remote, idyllic island in the
Caribbean provides the backdrop for this tale of mystery and suspense.
The secluded, exotic isle is a hideaway for some, a home for others,
but everyone has a past and everyone has a reason to be there. Few of
the inhabitants or their enigmatic visitors are willing to share
either, fostering a community of suspicion, contempt and hypocrisy.
Relationships
are fleeting or complex, conventional or convenient, and all the
strengths and frailties of human nature rise visibly to the fore.
Prepare to be caught up in gossip and speculation, secrets and
innuendo, with blackmail lurking menacingly in every corner, as
R.S.Charles weaves his tropical web of excitement and uncertainty.
In
the aftermath of the raging storm, the intriguing community on the
remote
Caribbean island desperately struggles to regain some kind of
normality. But
what is ‘normal’ in paradise? Tragedy has dared to encroach, tarnishing
the glitz
and glamour of the treasured, tropical retreat. For the affluent
inhabitants, determined
to jealously guard their privacy and anonymity, life now offers an
uncertain
and uncomfortable future.
Secrets
best left buried in the mists of time have been uncovered. Sleeping
skeletons
have been dragged out of closets. Rumour is rife. And scandal looks
inevitable.
Then, one step too far: a threat to expose the island to the world. Now
everyone
has something to lose. So everyone has a part to play. The idyllic isle
must
remain forever incognito. Whatever it takes.
As
the palm trees whisper in the lazy breeze, unexpected European visitors
become
more than just a casual nuisance, unwittingly confronting the
well-being of the
exotic hideaway. Convenient and casual assignations challenge love and
loyalty.
Truth and trust give way to lies and betrayal. Seduction is a versatile
weapon
and blackmail is everyone’s friend. Once again, the island is
helplessly drawn
into an erotic web of mystery and suspense as a trail of prophecy and
persuasion points a fickle finger towards fate and fortune.
