Her narrow escape from blue-eyed assassin Tom Booker has made former
data analyst Dani Britton question all of her choices--like trusting
"good guys" who carry badges. On the run and haunted by the
government-sanctioned massacre of her coworkers, Dani finally settles in
remote Redemption Key, Florida, at a bar where strong drinks and shady
deals are the norm.
The bar owner, a local operator with a past of his own, gives Dani a
job, no questions asked, and soon Dani's ability to "read" the sketchy
characters doing business at the bar proves invaluable. The libations
flow, and the Key's laid-back vibe and warm waters start doing their
therapeutic work. But as the mercury rises, a twisted deal starts to go
down--threatening to take Dani with it. Like sharks smelling blood,
players on both sides of the law circle for the kill. And when charming
apex predator Booker joins the frenzy, he may turn out to be the only
one on Dani's side.
