Dr. Ember Thorn doesn't have time to drop everything to take a worthless piece of onyx back to some random Caribbean island because her mother broke a hip and can't do it herself. It can wait. So, it waits. And waits. It waits until Ember's life goes a bit wonky. She loses her boyfriend, her job, and her house ends up full of raw sewage. Well, okay, then. No reason not to go reset in the Caribbean. She hops the next plane out and ends up seated beside the man who made sure she lost her job. He had some justification. Ember was the one who sent his very much alive father to the morgue. Don't freak out. It's not like it was intentional, and the man didn't even end up being refrigerated. It was a simple mistake and nobody was injured. Not physically... the not-dead guy may need some therapy. On island time, things aren't looking up. The airline lost her luggage, then when she gets to the island, she's thrown from the boat by an over-zealous driver-and her pig. Just as she's about to drink herself into oblivion, she spots Delilah Bradbury, actress, icon, and movie director. Ember strikes up a conversation-she's Delilah's biggest fan, Oh Em Gee!-and her luck finally changes. By some island miracle, Ember ends up with the lead role in the upcoming movie about a pirate, a witch, and a trio of magical jewels. It's not that easy. Things are never that easy. Nothing is what it seems on Pararey Island. Thanks to Renegade Remington and the love of his life, Ariyah, who are dying-not literally, they're already dead-to tell their story, maybe true love will prevail for all of them.
