How Cutter Cay Began
Cherry Adair, a South African-American author known for her sizzling romantic suspense, launched the Cutter Cay series in 2010 with Undertow. After moving to the United States and transitioning from interior design to writing, Adair channeled her love for adventure into crafting stories that blend heart-stopping action with irresistible chemistry. Inspired by tales of pirates and the allure of lost treasures, she created the Cutter Brothers—modern salvagers operating from their Caribbean island base, Cutter Cay. Her goal? To deliver escapist fun with a side of swoon-worthy romance, drawing readers into a world where love and danger collide.
The Heart of Cutter Cay
The series kicks off with Undertow, where Zane Cutter, the carefree 'Casanova of the Caribbean,' teams up with tough-as-nails mechanic Teal Williams to salvage a shipwreck loaded with gold, silver, and emeralds. As they battle a deadly enemy and their own sparks, the stage is set for a series defined by high-stakes treasure hunts. In Riptide, Nick Cutter faces off with Princess Bria Visconti, who boards his ship to reclaim her brother’s investment, only to dive into a dangerous quest for gold and a fiery romance. Vortex follows Logan Cutter, who rescues mysterious Daniela Rosada from the sea, uncovering secrets that threaten their treasure and their hearts. Stormchaser introduces Jonah Cutter, whose search for Atlantis entangles him with marine archeologist Calista West, blending myth and passion.
Adair’s stories thrive on themes of adventure, trust, and redemption, set against vibrant backdrops like the Caribbean, Peru, and Greece. Her fast-paced plots weave suspense with steamy encounters, while the Cutter Brothers’ reckless charm and protective instincts make them unforgettable. Fans praise Adair’s ability to balance nail-biting action with emotional depth, creating romances that sizzle as much as the treasure hunts thrill.
