Sunshine Skyway Jeannie Van Rompaey

Why does Roz keep making one disastrous mistake after another? Nineteen-year-old ROZ, leaves London for a honeymoon in Florida with GRAHAM, fourteen years her senior. She hopes he will provide the stability she needs after the death of her father and the abrupt end of a love affair. Her new husband's brutish behaviour the night they arrive shatters that belief. Confused and hurt, when Roz meets charismatic twins, THEO and JOLENE, she goes with them to their home in the Everglades. Roz needs time away from Graham to consider her options. On the way they cross the famous bridge with its history of disasters, SUNSHINE SKYWAY. Roz is fascinated by its steep ascent that gives the illusion it ends in the sky. On arrival at the isolated villa, EVERGLADE FOLLY, she finds herself in a world as surreal as the deceptive Skyway. Obsessed with Theo, manipulated by Jolene and plied with drugs, Roz finds herself drawn into their hedonistic world. As the games they play become darker, Roz knows she must leave. But Theo and Jolene are determined to keep her there. How the hell did Roz get into this mess? And how the hell can she get out of it?
