About the Book
"When a washed-up foot ties Audrey Collet and her eccentric billionaire ex Tyson to a buried past, she's pulled into a high-stakes investigation on his St. Barth's estate, where blackmail, betrayal, and a deadly birthday dive reveal a killer among their secret-laden inner circle"--Book Synopsis
St. Barth's has a murder rate of zero. But that's about to change. "Utterly delectable and addicting . . . Sunburned is what happens when Agatha Christie meets a thoroughly modern, sexy sensibility."--Ashley Winstead, USA Today bestselling author of Midnight Is the Darkest Hour When Audrey Collet's ex Tyson calls, threatening to expose the skeletons in her closet unless she helps him figure out who is blackmailing him, she wants nothing more than to refuse. Though their relationship ended over a decade ago, the scars are deep. And since his tech company made him a billionaire, he's become more than a little eccentric . . . and paranoid. But a foot has washed ashore in the Everglades--that's right, an actual human foot, encased in an Air Jordan--and Tyson is quick to remind Audrey that it's one whose long-dead owner they both have a connection to. A connection that could prove problematic, if it got out. Audrey reluctantly agrees to meet Tyson at his home on the swanky Caribbean island of St. Barth's to help him figure out who in his entourage is extorting him and what they know about the secrets he and Audrey share. Once there, she realizes that each person staying at Tyson's lavish estate has a reason to wish him harm. Could the culprit be the gorgeous Belgian wife whose wings he's clipped? The celebrity business partner he's essentially holding hostage? The older brother who's always been in his shadow? Or the sexy French butler he seems to trust more than he should? Audrey has only just scratched the surface of what's going on behind closed doors when Tyson's birthday dive turns deadly, and she realizes that one of the seven people trapped on his yacht with her is not just a blackmailer but a murderer. If Audrey can't catch the killer in time, she might become the next victim.Review Quotes

I really enjoyed this book! It kept me guessing the entire time. I thought I had things figured out more than once, but I was wrong every time, which made it all the more fun. The twists were clever and well paced, and the suspense never let up. Going in, I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the characters, but I ended up really liking Audrey, the main character. I also found myself unexpectedly invested in the relationship that develops between her and one of the other characters. I hadn’t anticipated any romance, but it was a nice surprise. It was subtle and secondary to the main plot, which kept the focus on the mystery. The setting was vivid, the tension was strong, and the mix of personalities added layers to the story. If you like smart, twisty thrillers with a strong main character and plenty of suspense, this is one to check out.
Lots of fun with unexpected twists and turns

This is a true page tuner. This plot had a gradual start but after a few chapters, it was entertaining and worked well with two timelines: the present and eleven years prior. It surprised me with unexpected twists and turns. I wasn’t able to figure out the outcome as much as I tried. And, with all the sunshine, pristine blue waters and refreshing drinks, I believe it screamed: beach read.
