Sunlit Paradise: Undercover Desire

Author: Raine Whitlock

Detective Siobahn Rust was ordered to watch the illegal art shipment from a distance. Instead, she follows her missing informant into a restricted exhibition hall, discovers a deadly synthetic drug hidden inside a sculpture, and ends up running from armed men determined to silence her. Her only escape is a luxury yacht called Apollo. To convince her pursuers she belongs there, Siobahn sheds her disguise and kisses the yacht’s dangerously attractive owner. The deception works but the problem begins when the kiss stops feeling fake and she nearly loses control with a stranger whose name she never learns. By morning, her informant has vanished, her police credential is missing, and every clue points to Solara Island, home of the exclusive Reed Solara Resort. Siobahn enters the resort undercover as a housekeeper and discovers that Apollo belongs to Calvin Reed, the powerful CEO whose signature appears on the criminal shipment records she is investigating. Calvin knows she is lying and he may also be the only person who can expose her. Trapped inside her prime suspect’s home, Siobahn must uncover who is using the island’s glamorous art program to move drugs and launder millions. But as witnesses disappear and the evidence begins contradicting itself, Calvin looks less like the mastermind and more like another target. In paradise, everyone wears a mask. Siobahn just has to uncover the truth before she trusts the wrong person.
