"Plum Lockhart went out on a limb when she ditched her corporate job in NYC and moved to the Caribbean island of Paraiso. Now the head of her own villa broker agency, Plum finds herself going head-to-head with her former boss and his evil (and annoyingly handsome) deputy Damian. But when an old colleague asks her to connect with his snarky assistant Arielle, the sweet life turns sour-Arielle is soon found dead at the house of an eccentric tycoon, Dieter Friederich. Known for his collection of exotic pets and success in the acid-washed jeans market, Plum learns through the grapevine that the mulleted millionaire is involved with some shady dealings. But he's not the only bad apple on the island... Plum will have to fit in an investigation with Juan Kevin Munoz, the steamy Director of Security, into her jam-packed schedule. But there's a murderer hot on their heels, and Plum will have to crack the case juiced in time!"--

"On the tropical island of Paraiso, Plum Lockhart has a new zest for life. Not only is her new villa rental company growing like a weed, but things are also finally heating up between her and the handsome Director of Security at Las Frutas Resort. Plum's thrilled when she gets an invite to dinner on the yacht of a wealthy music executive, grateful for a luxurious night on the water, surrounded by A-listers. But days later, one of the servers from the yacht-a girl with a dragonfruit tattoo-washes up dead, and Plum's sweet bit of paradise quickly goes rotten. As the yacht prepares to set sail across the Caribbean, Plum hops onboard. But the zest laid plans turn deadly as it becomes clear that someone on the boat is a murderer...and Plum may be the next victim"--
