Jillian's Island: Every Paradise has a Predator (The Castaways, #1)

Seven strangers. One deserted island. And no way home.

A violent storm leaves yacht stewardess Jillian and her beloved Grandpa Skippy shipwrecked on a remote Bahamian island. Relying on strangers, survival becomes a group effort.

Jillian lives for order. It’s how she keeps chaos at bay. But with limited supplies, unpredictable dangers, and the island’s hidden secrets closing in, even her steady calm may not be enough. To survive, the castaways must rely on one another — soon becoming something closer to family.

Then there’s Dr. Carter Buckley — capable, kind, and impossible to ignore. As friendships deepen and trust grows, the connection between Jillian and Carter strengthens, offering comfort, hope, and something neither of them expected.

Escaping the island may be their goal, but Jillian soon discovers her greatest challenge might be trusting her heart.

A feel-good, closed-door romance filled with adventure, found family, and a love worth risking everything for.
