~ A luxury cruise. A private island. A summer escape before everything changes....
But when you mix lovers, crushes, rivals, friends, and strangers...
tension rises fast - and nothing stays hidden for long.
Because beneath the laughter and tan lines,
beneath the hookups and the parties,
everyone's hiding something.
And paradise has a way of peeling you back.
one layer at a time.
