Here's an excerpt from the very start, to give you an idea:
Submersible, Part 1
Mr. and Mrs. Kevin and Rebecca Boseman were on the smooth marble walkway clicking toward the centerpiece mansion of Oceanside Estates. "Beautiful," she remarked of it, and of the manicured landscaping, and of the modern, low-profile architecture ahead. "You too," he replied.
Rebecca was a grounded woman, given her stature; her formals were not entirely comfortable for her. A mostly unsocial workaholic, Kevin strode aside her with a posture chosen to match the occasion. Like the other guests to the billionaire's island, they felt fortunate to have been invited, but were curious and skeptical that no itinerary had been revealed.
The Bosemans had arrived just after a famous vocalist and aspiring starlet named Melody Moods had begun working the crowd inside. Melody's voice filled the lawn through the front door as they approached, supported by ambient sounds of a socialite crowd.
"Ah, the Bosemans. A delight to welcome your arrival. Please," the doorman said as he beckoned for Mrs. Boseman's fashionable overcoat. "My name is Silas, and I am at your service. Please feel welcome, and free to introduce yourselves to our other well respected guests."
