What to expect

'A gripping and compelling story . . . Deeply addictive and simmering with tension, THE LAST RESORT had me breathlessly turning the pages all the way through to its explosive conclusion.' - Lucy Clarke, author of The Castaways

You can ignore the truth, but it will come for you eventually . . .

This couples retreat in paradise isn't what it seems . . .

The Harmony Resort promises hope for struggling marriages. Run by celebrity power couple Drs. Miles and Grace Markell, the "last resort" offers a chance for partners to repair their relationships in a luxurious setting on the gorgeous Mayan Riviera.

Johanna and Ben have a marriage that looks perfect on the surface, but in reality, they don't know each other at all. Shell and Colin fight constantly: after all, Colin is a workaholic, and Shell always comes second to his job as an executive at a powerful mining company. But what has really torn them apart is too devastating to talk about.

When both couples begin Harmony's intensive therapy program, it becomes clear that Harmony is not all it seems - and neither are Miles and Grace themselves. As a deadly tropical storm descends on the coast, secrets are revealed and loyalties are tested - but what price will these couples pay when they uncover the truth?

Critics Review

Gripping and compelling . . . Deeply addictive and simmering with tension, The Last Resort had me breathlessly turning the pages all the way through to its explosive conclusion
Lucy Clarke, author of The Castaways
Both spine-chilling and heartwarming. How Stapley does it is as intricate a mystery as The Last Resort's plot. You won't be needing a bookmark.

A wild and deeply satisfying rollercoaster ride through the world of a con artist with a heart of gold. Propulsive and affecting, Lucky is the most fun I've had reading a book in quite a while
Taylor Jenkins Reid
A riveting caper full of heart, I loved this book!
Karma Brown
This fun romp, with deeper themes of identity, family ties and the meaning of truth in a life built on lies, kept me greedily turning pages late into the night. Perfect for book clubs - or anyone looking for their next unputdownable read
Colleen Oakley
Stapley's gorgeous writing cuts to the bone, and her grifter heroine, both vulnerable and fierce, is driven by a genius premise . . . a gripping, heart-wrenching journey of resilience, hope, and redemption. A stunning read!
