Struggling with decisions she forced to make regarding her career and her future, Catherine Storm returns to Sanibel Island, seeking its tranquility and solitude while she wrestles with her options. The last thing Cat expects is to find herself in the arms of a troubled, former Special Forces commander-while dodging an assassin’s bullets.
