Mysteries abound on Marakata Cay—an exotic, Eden-esq island owned by a multi-billionaire known as OZ. Perhaps the biggest secret of all is the one haunting the capable and passionate Aziza. Dutifully, Zee has served the eccentric and reclusive OZ as his right-hand, even to the detriment of her own freedoms. In fact, she’s never so much as stepped foot off of the island since washing up on its shores. But when the man she’s falling in love with disappears amidst lies and betrayal, Zee begins to wonder if the paradise sanctuary protecting her from her past has actually been a trap?

Or Dare?

Because with great risks come even better rewards.

Former Navy SEAL Michael Cooper has spent his life thwarting death. Playing scarecrow for Beryl Enterprises as OZ’s Director of Security and Specialized Operations, is no exception. But for the first time in his life, Coop finds himself truly facing reality—he’s not invincible. Not at all. When OZ offers Coop an insanely lucrative mission, he’s in no position to turn it down. The deep-sea treasure recovery should be easy for a man with Coop’s diving and demolition skills, but the job comes with more than its fair share of danger. Sharks, modern-day pirates, and the possibility of losing the love of his life, the beautiful and tenacious Aziza.

Even Eden had a snake and for the first time in the island paradise’s illusive history money and power can’t mend what’s been wrecked upon its shores, daring Aziza to pull the curtain back and reveal the truth, no matter the cost.
