A battle for paradise. A search for redemption. A truth that changes everything!
Michael Bennett was once a rising star-until he was betrayed by a trusted partner and lost everything. Now living on a sailboat in Key West, he keeps his ambitions small and his past at a distance-that is, until an old friend offers him a shot at redemption.
In the sun-soaked Virgin Islands, Michael is tasked with untangling a stalled marina project in Coral Bay, St. John. It's the kind of challenge he was made for-but this time, the stakes run deeper than just red tape.
The mysterious death of an old friend and a leading voice in opposition to the very project Mike is now working on casts a long shadow. And as local resistance builds, Michael is drawn into a web of shady executives, island politics, and personal conflict that has him questioning the project, his loyalties, and even the woman he finds himself falling for.
Forced to dig deeper, Mike comes across a stranger and an FBI agent that reveal a truth that changes everything. Now, to save Coral Bay-and himself-he'll have to confront not only the present, but the ghosts of his past.
More than an island mystery, this slow-burn coastal suspense novel that perfectly blends ambition, loyalty, romance, and corruption-and you won't believe how it ends!
