except her will to survive.

The pay is generous - enough for her to get home and start over.But something is wrong on the island. Her door won’t lock, the security guard is always watching her, and no one will talk about what happened to the previous assistant. The boat that brought her won’t return for seven days, and it’s beginning to feel like a lifetime away.
