Shadows in the Dark

(Complete) Rumors aren't new to the beach community. When an unidentified couple is seen kissing in the shadows and a beautiful stranger arrives the speculation starts. As word of her entertaining men at night spreads, wives wonder whose husband will be next.

Set at a time when life was just a little simpler. There were no smartphone and most people who had cell phones still paid per minute, so rumors spread by mouth. Where would it end and how many lives would they affect in the process?
