TROUBLES IN PARADISE

Welcome to Troubles in Paradise, the third and final volume in Elin Hilderbrand's wildly popular New York Times bestselling trilogy (Winter in Paradise; What Happens in Paradise).

FBI agents have seized Irene Steel's Iowa City home and the St. John villa belonging to her de-ceased husband, Russ, claiming that the money he used to buy the properties had been illegal- ly procured through laundering and tax fraud as part of his secret double-life in the Caribbean that included a girlfriend, Rosie, and a 12-year old daughter, Maia. What will happen now that the Irene has to start over without the comforts that Russ's money had provided, and without answers to his mysterious death? All of the drama of the Steele family's uncovering and rebuilding is, once again, set against the lush background of St. John and the British Virgin Islands, as a hurricane that is gaining apocalyptic size and speed bears down. Elin Hilderbrand spent her first summer on Nantucket Island in 1993 and has lived there year -round for 26 years. She's the mother of three, an enthusiastic at-home cook and a six-year breast cancer survivor. Troubles in Paradise is her 26th novel.
