Blaze is a strong woman who will protect her son Beau at all costs. She takes a position that she abhors for the sake of her son, where she meets Justin, a man who proposes a marriage of convenience as the solution to her problems. Who is Justin and why does he want to help Blaze and her son? Blaze is just starting to have feelings for Justin when Raven shows up again. She's still in love with Raven, yet Justin is fast becoming the man who could win her heart as well. In the mix is the dastardly Andre Le Croix who is determined to have Blaze and will stop at nothing to get her. Justin wants his wife to love him, Raven loves her but isn't in a position to take her away with him, oh, what's a woman to do? With the help of his best friend Henri, Justin sets about winning his wife's love. Is Justin who he says he is or is he hiding something?

With Caribbean Splendor, Ms. Ranson takes us on a journey that has many twists and turns. Caribbean Splendor is full of swashbuckling pirates, double lives, secrets, sexual awakening, spicy sex, emotional healing, moments of laugh out loud laughter, evil magistrates, a mother's love and most of all a man's love for his woman.
