It was supposed to be a week at the beach. A quick vacation in her favorite place, Alma Del Mar. A simple getaway-just Abby and her boyfriend, Matt. But that all changed when she caught him with a trashy local waitress.
Though, Garrett-the smoldering captain of the Pincha Culero-takes her in, she decides to depart on a two day cruise to an uninhabited island. When she fails to return, the impression she left on Garrett, and the spark that had been ignited between them, leads him on a desperate search to find her.
A horrible rumor he's recently heard about the island leaves him no time to waste. He needs to find her before something much worse does.
