Sonya Tansing has broken it off with her fiancé right before the wedding. When she discovers how he has hidden his massive debts from her and planned to marry her to help himself financially, she has no love left for him. She decides to go on their honeymoon trip, anyway, as the two weeks alone on a secluded island in the Carribbean are just what she needs to boost her sagging spirits.

Renowned treasure-hunter Gray Bolton has never been a man to shirk some dirty dealings to get a job done. For years, he’s had a gut feeling that there are still a few doubloons left on Dead Man’s Cay. Now, after paying off the private island’s caretaker to go take a hike, Gray is going to spend two weeks searching the sand and surf for the treasure he knows is there.

From his first sight of Sonya nude sun-bathing on her deck, Gray knows he’s in for a world of trouble. He fills the role of “caretaker” nicely for a while, but when a few uninvited guests arrive, their serene and sexy island adventures take a turn for the sinister.

Infamous labor union leader Sean Reilly, Jr. disappeared in 1977, leaving behind a wife and young daughter, Paige, along with a union in turmoil. Shrouded in mystery, his vanishing act also leaves New York City and the world to wonder: was he a criminal or a visionary?

Thirty years later, Paige’s grandfather dies and the funeral resonates in the hollow spot left by the unsolved disappearance of her father. She only wants to avoid that subject, but her grandfather’s death invites the speculation of hordes of distant relatives, all offering their personal conjecture on a case already three decades old. Even Brogan Kane, Paige’s childhood crush, has come out of the woodwork to offer his condolences and his presence is a welcome distraction.

Brogan needs another big hit to stay in the game, or so says his editor, Carl Morris. The one-time successful true-crime author sees the Reilly disappearance as the opportunity he needs to write a book that will sell like hotcakes, but he’ll have to get Paige’s approval first.

If Paige finds out his seduction was only for the sake of a good story, she may never trust him again, but if he can’t seduce her into acquiescence, the world may never learn the truth about Sean Reilly. Either way, they’ll both find out if true love can be rendered from the ashes of a devastating loss.

Well-known French painter Maximilien (Mac) Ardant-Castel built his career upon scandalous celebrity nudes that left even the most verbose critics speechless. Five years ago, a tragic motorcycle crash stole his sight and took the life of a young girl. Unable to bear his guilt and despair, Mac vanished from the art scene only to re-emerge five years later with a desire to tell the truth about the tragedy. In order to garner some publicity for his tell-all autobiography and the abstract creations he now paints, Mac propositions his studio assistant to pose as his lover.

In desperate need of funding for her own artistic dreams, college student Skylar Laurent agrees to pose as her employer’s lover in exchange for art school tuition. The international media goes wild for their spicy May-December romance, but the ruse turns to reality for Mac when Skye reveals that she has an agenda all her own. Mac may be blind, but he isn’t dead, and Skye proves she is an expert at splashing his dark world with the colors of love. When she seduces Mac into her bed, his life mirrors the erotic fantasy of his paintings, but will he be prepared to surrender the fantasy in favor of the truth?
