Publisher's Synopsis
The Queen of South Beach is a heart-stopping tale of suspense, inspired by a true story and a revealing look at a Vero Beach dynasty holding one of the greatest concentrations of wealth and power in this Mayberry-By-The-Sea where fading legacies allow corruption and scandal to seep into the social fabric of this staid island gentry. Here are three characters destined for an explosive collision: Stella Wilde, who defies all odds as the alluring wife holding fast to her birthright as she struggles to find redemption in a dangerous and unforgiving world; and Emilio Rosa, a barbaric Mexican drug lord that brutally seizes his piece of paradise as he draws Mark McAllister and Stella Wilde into his violent world. The thrilling story moves swiftly from the glamour of Vero Beach and the beaches of Bora Bora to an electrifying scene off Islamorada. More than just riveting entertainment, the incredible-and often hilarious-saga is the fascinating story of friendship and betrayal, love and seduction leading to a climax that will leave readers breathless long after they've turned the last page.
