New York socialite Carly Hodge thinks she’s kept her infidelity secret from her husband, Preston. She’s wrong. On the pretext of celebrating her fortieth birthday, Preston takes her to the Bahamas on a sailboat. Under the night sky on the Little Bahama Bank, he serves her a romantic dinner and gives her the best sex of their nineteen-year marriage. Then he beats her, ties her to the mast of the boat, and blows the boat up while making his getaway. Carly survives the murder attempt. She allows the world to believe her husband perished in the “boating accident,” but she knows he’s hiding somewhere in the Bahamas. And she’s out to get him—if he doesn’t get her first.
