Behind every polished nail, every perfectly practiced smile, and every swipe of highlighted blush is something carefully hidden.
A bruise.
A betrayal.
A secret.
Or, if you are fortunate enough, someone else's.
In the Caribbean, paradise has always photographed beautifully.
Turquoise water. White sand. Coconut trees leaning lazily toward the sea. Villas built high enough into the hills that the people inside them could look down at everybody else.
But paradise has neighbours.
And neighbours talk.
Especially the rich ones.
Behind the gates of Kingston's most desirable addresses lived women whose lives looked almost offensively perfect from the outside.
They had husbands with surnames people recognized.
Businesses people envied.
Children attending schools with waiting lists.
Closets that required their own air-conditioning.
Vacations booked before other people had finished paying for the last one.
And enough money to make almost any problem disappear.
Almost.
Because money could buy privacy.
It could buy loyalty.
It could buy silence.
But there was one thing money had never managed to buy in Jamaica.
People minding their own damn business.
And tonight, nine women were about to be reminded of that.
The invitation had arrived three weeks earlier.
Heavy cream cardstock.
Gold lettering.
No plus-ones.
No children.
No excuses.
SUNSET IN PARADISE
An intimate dinner celebrating women, friendship and new beginnings.
Hosted at one of the most beautiful private estates on the island.
By seven o'clock, champagne would be cold.
The cameras would be rolling.
And before midnight, somebody's secret would no longer belong to her.
