The rum-fueled passion that, day by day, creeps into something darker.

The secrets she discovered in a hidden nook of the lodge, revealing a devastating past.

Travel Guide

Belize

Much of the story is set in the jungle in Belize. It’s a domestic drama in many ways set in a jungle but this jungle and the scene setting are something else:

“It is beyond beautiful. The forest is heaven on earth. An abundance of flora and fauna. Bromeliads and medicinal plans abound. The orchids shudder before his eyes. He’s seen crocodiles and howler monkeys and turtles.  Iguanas perch in trees like leaves; ‘bamboo chicken’, the locals call them. the Caribbean Sea ia always so flat, so calm.”
