About this eBook

Spend your winter on sunlit shores in the New York Times bestselling follow-up to Winter in Paradise, as secret lives and new loves emerge under the bright Caribbean sky. 

A year ago, Irene Steele had the shock of her life: her loving husband, father to their grown sons and successful businessman, was killed in a helicopter crash. But that wasn't Irene's only shattering news: he'd also been leading a double life on the island of St. John, where another woman loved him, too.

Now Irene and her sons are back on St. John, determined to learn the truth about the mysterious life—and death—of a man they thought they knew. Along the way, they're about to learn some surprising truths about their own lives, and their futures.

Lush with the tropical details, romance, and drama that made Winter in Paradise a national bestseller, What Happens in Paradise is another immensely satisfying page-turner from one of America's most beloved and engaging storytellers.

Ratings and reviews

I loved this book!! The descriptions of St. John make me long to go back. I loved the setting and the characters. I can’t wait until the next book in the series is available!! Until then I’ll be looking for other books written by Ms. Hilderbrand to keep me entertained!! Thank you for sharing the magic of St. John with us!

Really liked the book until the end. Had I known that it ended without resolution I would not have read it. Now I find out I'll need to wait until October for the sequel. I won't read it.

What kind of ending was that? The story has me going and an a prompt ending? Wow! This book wasn't one of her best. I would recommend reading it, but don't expect a good ending. I am a little disappointed.
