Shadows Over Paradise — Hope Goodwin

Jamaica, the lush Caribbean island of exotic beauty and mystery, provides as much romance as danger for artist Alison Parker, the young heroine of SHADOWS OVER PARADISE.

Alison's adventures begin when her former roommate from college, Jessica, who has finally found the natural father she has been searching for, urges Alison to accompany her to the long-awaited reunion in Jamaica. When Jessica fails to meet her as planned in Miami, Alison proceeds alone expecting to catch up with her at the Three Palms, the hotel run by Graham Hunter, Jessica's handsome but slightly sinister brother. Jetting to the island, Alison is intrigued by fellow passenger Mark Delacroix, the attractive heir to the vast Delacroix hotel empire.

Mark and Alison's friendship deepens as does the mystery of the missing Jessica. When they find themselves allied against various hostile characters, such as Mimi, a cool Jamaican beauty who is assistant manager of the hotel and a woman over whom Graham has unusual power. Under a bright tropical sun, by the cool shores of a glittering azure sea. Mark and Alison are inexorably pulled into a perilous web.
