Books like The Devil's Eden by Elizabeth Power

Coralie Rhodes, writing under the pseudonym Lee Roman, embarks on what she anticipates to be a straightforward investigative assignment in Bermuda. Her target, a prominent tycoon, is a man whose influence shapes the island’s economic landscape. However, the task takes a dangerous turn when she meets the tycoon's nephew, Jordan Colyer. Jordan, who has harbored deep resentment towards Coralie for eight years, views her mission with disdain and disbelief. Despite his overt hostility, the passage of time has not softened his stance. The tension escalates as Coralie finds herself trapped, her safety and career hanging in the balance, and every moment counts in averting a looming conflict. Set against the backdrop of Bermuda’s coastal charm and corporate intrigue, the narrative explores themes of ambition, revenge, and the unforeseen consequences of journalistic curiosity. Coralie must navigate a hostile environment while safeguarding her reputation and confronting the personal challenges posed by Jordan’s unwavering animosity.
