Paradise of the Damned

Paradise of the Damned Paradise Island was supposed to be the ultimate escape: sun-soaked beaches, wild parties, no parents, no consequences. Instead, it becomes the place where secrets burn hotter than the tropical sun—and where the most privileged teenagers in Lerwick learn that desire can be far more dangerous than any rule they've ever broken. Annelise has spent her whole life being shaped for power, trained to become Lerwick's future mayor. Blake was raised the exact same way. Together? They're a political disaster waiting to happen. Forbidden since childhood, their rivalry is legendary… and so is the chemistry they try to ignore. But when the trip of the year throws the Legitimate Heirs into a world of intoxicating freedom—illegal races, brutal competition, hidden alliances—the line between love and war blurs fast. Every choice threatens their reputations, their futures, and the fragile truths they've been raised to believe. On an island where paradise masks corruption, betrayal, and the kind of temptations that can ruin a legacy, Annelise and Blake discover that the real danger isn't each other—it's what they're willing to risk for a taste of something real. Forbidden romance. Toxic rivalries. Wealthy heirs with everything to lose.
