The Brimstone Grand Hotel, owned by reclusive former movie star, Delilah Devine, looms high on Hospital Hill, harboring long-buried family secrets that whisper of unimaginable horrors. Horrors that will echo down through generations.

Cade Bradbury. Billionaire island owner, at your service. I'm not used to people giving me the finger. Especially people I've just met. Especially when I'm standing in front of my own island resort. So, I'm more than intrigued when cute but feisty Emma Clarke does just that. If this girl is who I think she is, then she's in big trouble. I won't even bother going to the police to report someone soliciting...er...clients in my resort. I'll run Emma off the island, and enjoy every second of it. Which is what I tell myself until I actually spend time with her.
