Winter in Paradise (#1) by Elin Hilderbrand

Irene Steels shares her idyllic life with her two sons and husband who loves her skywriting, sentimental extremes. But as she rings in the new year one cold and snowy night, everything she thought she knew falls to pieces with a single shocking phone call: her beloved husband, away on business, has been killed in a helicopter crash. Before Irene can even process the news, she must first confront the perplexing details of her husband’s death on the distant Caribbean island of St. John.

When Irene and her sons arrive at the faraway paradise, they make yet another shocking discovery: her husband had been living a double life. As the steeles slowly untangle this web of lies and deceit, they finally face the truth about their family, and about their own futures.

Rich with the lush beauty of tropics and the drama of romance, and intrigue only Elin Hilderbrand can deliver, Winter in Paradise is a truly transporting novel, and the exciting start to a new series.
