Abby George is a thirty-something single woman who has just been laid off. Stunned and seeking a shoulder to cry on, she turns to her perfect, know-it-all older sister, Leigh. Instead of comfort, Abby is given a surprising post lay-off present: Leigh needs her in the Caribbean to help with some mysterious family business.
   What should have been a simple favor for her big sis sets off a string of events for Abby. Facing hurdles like centipedes and the locals, Abby accidentally uncovers not one, but two huge family secrets. Abby sets out to discover the truth, all while juggling a surprise roommate and assisting in the sale of a bed-and-breakfast.
   Abby is further occupied when the handsome Andrew Van Dyk arrives on the island. He’s hot and seems to hold promise for a little affair in paradise, but can Abby step out of her own way long enough to open her heart to her new suitor? Or will she stupidly and neurotically make her romantic life worse? Packing nothing but her suitcases, a sense of humor and sarcastic spirit, Abby George gets to travel down the road she never would have taken. It’s all she can do to hang on for the ride.
   Or will she wake up one morning with “Rum Punch Regrets?”
