The Lost Island Series #4: Dancing With Fire
"Welcome to the island where the love that was once lost was found again."
"A love that risked everything, knowing it might leave ashes behind, yet choosing to burn anyway."
Money.
For Serafine Veronica Mendez, money is everything. A self-proclaimed rich kid with a penchant for deception, she believes that wealth is the key to power, status, and entry into the elite world.
Her life is neatly orchestrated around manipulating others—until one fateful night when she unwittingly witnesses what appears to be a murder.
That night leads her to Engineer Vioxx Ephraim Miranda, a wealthy bachelor. A man who challenges her beliefs, showing her that money cannot buy true happiness, life, or love.
Every time they embrace the fire between them, they only stoke the flames—never realizing that in the end, those flames would consume them both.
