Cutter Cay Island
Destination Overview:
Cutter Cay is an emerald island in an aquamarine sea. The densely wooded flanks of an extinct volcano boldy rise nearly 3,000 ft above the Caribbean Sea. Although only a quick 15 minute flight from St. Maarten, the island is far from the cares of the modern world. You will not find mass tourism, all-inclusive resorts or miles of pearly white beaches, but you will find overwhelmingly beautiful nature, a fabulous underwater world and a holiday for extreme survival. Soon after arriving, you'll realize why the Cutter Brothers refer to their island as 'The Unspoiled Queen'. The island has one airport - Cutter, who by a large group of the best pilots and specialists is considered the most difficult in the world
Diving Details:
A a volcanic island that rises steeply from the ocean. Lava tunnels and hot springs remind divers of the island's dramatic origins. The extremely varied diving includes bizarre looking pinnacles rising straight up from unfathomable depths. A busy population of colorful tropical fish as well as large groupers and jacks inhabit the waters around the island. Along the island edge are sheer wall dives, divers can sight turtles and rays of all shapes and sizes. The small leeward side hosts gentle, medium-depth, spur-and-groove formations.

CUTTER CAY SERIES BACKSTORY
Five hundred years ago two rival families were at war to see who would be the chosen of the King of Spain but the galleon was lost at sea. Now three brothers are desperate to recover the find of a lifetime, the galleon their ancestor lost, and their father spent his life to find. But the ancient rivalry with the Consuelos family is alive and well, and still waters run deep. Only one can recover the treasure, and find the secret that will unlock a new world order.
UNDERTOW EXTENDED EDITION
Youngest brother Zane Cutter hadn’t seen Rebecca Jones since the summer she was wearing cut-offs with skinned up knees as their fathers worked together to uncover the location of the galleon his ancestor lost at sea. She was always one of the boys, until she went away to college. Now back on the boat to finish her doctorial thesis in archeology, she’s taking Zane’s focus away from the very thing he needs to concentrate on most. He’s been sent by his brothers to locate the original source of the galleon’s wealth, and give them the lead they need to trace it back to it’s sinking point. Always thought of as the laid back one of the boys, this is his chance to prove he deserves a piece of the profits once they recover the galleon.
Rebecca Jones always had a thing for Zane, but she’d never admitted it to anyone. Now that they’re locked together at the hip trying to follow an ancient map and log books to the location where the ships were to have found their original treasure, she’ll do anything to prove she’s not just one of the boys, she’s better.
But as they search, they are not alone. A group from the Consuelos family, now backed by a silent partner bent on finding a mythical Mayan keystone that went down with the ship, will do anything to make sure the Cutters don’t reach their goal, or if they do, they die trying.

Her mother, a member of the powerful Consuelos family, has told her it is her duty to spy on the Cutter’s operations and sabotage them whenever possible. But Logan is not the monster her family has made the Cutter boys out to be. And Isobel begins to believe that perhaps, despite blood being thicker than water, that she’s been playing for the wrong side.
As accidents begin to happen, Isobel is certain she’s not the only one on board with ties to the Consuelos family. Now Isobel has a terrible choice, tell the truth and risk losing the freedom and safety she’s found in Logan’s arms, or face the certain truth that her family will stop at nothing to reach the galleon first, even if that means stepping over her dead body.

For Nick Cutter, oldest of the Cutter boys, finding the galleon is a matter of family honor and pride. As the moneyman for Cutter Enterprises, Nick only needed one more financial backer to complete their latest salvage mission. Unfortunately for him, the check came with a high price tag.

And there’s no way she’s leaving things to chance. She’s never trusted anyone. When her helicopter show
s up on the landing pad of the Scorpio II Nick wants to take the check and send her on her way. But there was too much at stake. She’ll only let the check, representing the last of her family’s liquid assets, go if he agrees to let her stay aboard during the recovery of the Spanish galleon.

ABOUT CHERRY ADAIR
Always an adventurer in life as well as writing, New York Times best-selling author Cherry Adair moved halfway across the globe from Cape Town, South Africa to the United States in her early years to become an interior designer. She started what eventually became a thriving interior design business. “I loved being a designer because it was varied and creative, and I enjoyed working with the public.” A voracious reader when she was able to carve out the time, Cherry found her brain crowded with characters and stories of her own.
“Eventually,” she says, “the stories demanded to be told.” Now a resident of the Pacific Northwest she shares the award- winning adventures of her fictional T-FLAC counter terrorism operatives with her readers.When asked why she chooses to write romantic action adventure, she says, “Who says you can’t have adventure and a great love life? Of course if you’re talking about an adventurous love life, that’s another thing altogether. I write romantic suspense coupled with heart-pounding adventure because I like to entertain, and nothing keeps readers happier than a rollercoaster read, followed by a happy ending.”
Popular on the workshop circuit, Cherry gives lively classes on writing and the writing life. Pulling no punches when asked how to become a published writer, Cherry insists, “Sit your butt in the chair and write. There’s no magic to it. Writing is hard work. It isn’t for sissies or whiners.”
Cherry loves to spend time at home. A corner desk keeps her focused on writing, but the windows behind her, with a panoramic view of the front gardens, are always calling her to come outside and play. Her office has nine-foot ceilings, a fireplace, a television and built-in bookcases that house approximately 3,500 books.
“What can I say? My keeper shelf has been breeding in the middle of the night, rather like drycleaners’ wire clothes hangers.”
