Permanent Sunset

Against her better judgment Sabrina and her partner Henry take on the management of lavish Villa Nirvana on St John. In Permanent Sunset by C. Michele Dorsey, Sabrina is sure the villa is going to bring unwanted attention to them. After the last brush with "fame", Sabrina wants to lay low and just manage their 10 Villas.

The Keating family gathers for the wedding of son Sean, but the bride, on the eve of the wedding, has a meltdown and refuses to sign a prenuptial agreement. She storms off and is missing on the day of the wedding. Sabrina begins to look for Elena and wander down to the beach to search. The plans for a glamorous wedding are ruined when the bride turns up missing, then dead, drowned at the water's edge.

Of course the murder brings Sabrina to the attention of the police but this time it is not her friend Detective Janquar, but the allegedly corrupt and ambitious Detective Vernon Hodge. He tries to tie the previous murder in the 10 Villas to this one and accuses Sabrina and Henry of not providing enough security for their guests. He even threatens to revoke their real estate license, thereby terminating their ability to manage the Villas.

The wealthy family members are all suspects, but Sabrina’s own past keeps cropping up. With the assistance of lawyer (not licensed the Virgin Islands) Neil Perry, it is soon discovered Elena was not who she claimed to be. With Jack Keating's wife and ex-wife present, two angry sons and lots of competition for the business, the Keating family has plenty of suspect to go around. An excellent adventure in paradise
