The Last Resort

by Marissa Stapley

First published 2019

Johanna and Ben look perfect together, but they barely know each other. Shell and Colin fight constantly over his work obsession, though their real problem runs much deeper. Both couples arrive at The Harmony Resort in Mexico's Mayan Riviera for intensive therapy with Doctors Miles and Grace Markell, who seem like the ideal power couple running their luxury retreat. The therapy program quickly reveals that Harmony hides darker truths, and the Markells aren't who they appear to be. When Miles Markell disappears, every guest becomes a suspect. A hurricane traps everyone at the resort as secrets surface and loyalties crumble. The storm forces confrontations that will destroy some relationships and transform others. Both marriages face truths they've avoided, while the mystery of Miles's disappearance threatens everyone's safety.
