The Getaway

Rule one of working with the super-rich: normal rules do not apply Lola prides herself on being the most bombproof manager in the high-end hotel business. Need fifty red roses, a stuffed unicorn and the perfect diamond ring to propose to your girlfriend tomorrow? No problem - if you can pay for it, Lola can handle it. So why has she just fled her well-paid job in Hong Kong in the middle of the night for a remote island in the Caribbean? Rule two: be prepared for any situation. Keeper Island is exactly the clean sheet Lola needs. A billionaire-owned private resort, it''s a dream job: white sand, palm trees, jewel-blue sea. all the paradise cliches. Super-exclusive, meaning fewer guests - and fewer people to know her location. The only connection with her previous life now is her old mentor and new boss, Mike Moxham. Rule three: trust no one. But when Moxham is found dead less than 24 hours after Lola''s arrival on Keeper, all hopes of a fresh start are banished. Because while everyone else is sure the death was an accident, they didn''t know Moxham like Lola did - and they weren''t there when he told her exactly what he''s been up to on the island. Which means she might be next.>
