William's father apparently commits suicide by diving out of a window. William turns up missing. Thus Michael is in line for the family fortune. Foul play is suspected in both instances. Michael becomes the prime suspect. He goes on vacation to a Caribbean island resort where he meets Kate Donavan from Chicago. Kate is recovering from the sudden death of her beloved father. She is there with her long-term lawyer boyfriend, except he isn't there because of a complication with a law trial. They become romantically involved. Kate is unaware of who he is, and when she returns to Chicago thinks he has deserted her. There are many complications concerning his relationship with the Wyatt family and his possible guilt.

This is McNaught's first book since Night Whispers in 1999. It is an enjoyable romantic suspense story but not up to her past endeavors. The characters are unforgettable: Kate is gorgeous and intelligent; Michael is handsome and charming. The repartee between the two of them is witty. The atmosphere of the island and of Chicago is successfully evoked. The plot is interesting but predictable. There is no real suspense. The guilty party will soon be determined. This is a quick read for a pleasant evening's enjoyment.
