A husband's secret life, a wife's new beginning: escape to the Caribbean with #1 New York Times bestselling author Elin Hilderbrand.Irene Steele shares her idyllic life in a beautiful Iowa City Victorian house with a husband who loves her to sky-writing, sentimental extremes. But as she rings in the new year one cold and snowy night, everything she thought she knew falls to pieces with a shocking phone call: her beloved husband, away on business, has been killed in a helicopter crash. Before Irene can even process the news, she must first confront the perplexing details of her husband's death on the distant Caribbean island of St. John.After Irene and her sons arrive at this faraway paradise, they make yet another shocking discovery: her husband had been living a secret life. As Irene untangles a web of intrigue and deceit, and as she and her sons find themselves drawn into the vibrant island culture, they have to face the truth about their family, and about their own futures.Rich with the lush beauty of the tropics and the drama, romance, and intrigue only Elin Hilderbrand can deliver, Winter in Paradise is a truly transporting novel, and the exciting start to a new series."I will just say that, 24 hours after I started this book, I purchased its sequel, What Happens in Paradise, and I did not leave either book to be enjoyed by strangers at the end of my vacation." —Elisabeth Egan, New York Times

"This was just the kind of book I needed right now. Practically a travel advertisement for St John and the Virgin Islands, it has a perfect mix of mystery, romance, complicated family and love relationships in this gorgeous tropical setting. This is the first in a trilogy, so starting on the second one now!"

"A decent secret to uncover but the lives of everyone else was just so boring. It was hard to get through. Felt like the book was going on forever. "

"This book picked up really well after the snoozefest of the first few chapters, which had initially put me off for a few weeks. Despite having started during the New Year (the same time it starts in the book as well), I was happy that I picked this back up at the end of January! After the halfway mark, I finished it within a couple of days and have borrowed the second in the series to pick up where it left off. Drama, multiple viewpoint chapters, the tropics, and an interesting tale of mystery!"
