What is ‘Caribbean Summer’ about? 

In Hallmark’s Caribbean Summer, a morning news producer named Jade heads to a relaxing Caribbean island for a forced vacation after an embarrassing gaffe during a live broadcast. Her trip gets off to a rocky start when she falls victim to a rental scam. Fortunately, Jade manages to turn things around and embarks on a romantic island adventure with the home’s real owner, a mysterious man named Ford. 

Jade slowly begins to let her guard down around Ford, embracing everything the island has to offer. But soon, she faces with a choice between her heart and head when she learns the truth about the man she’s falling for. The information could be a career-defining scoop for Jade. Will she use it to get ahead? Or will she help Ford clear his name so they can live happily ever after?
