Bestselling author Julie Garwood returns with a novel of drama, suspense and romance.

Peyton Lockhart and her sisters have inherited Bishop’s Cove, a small, luxurious oceanfront resort, but it comes with a condition- they must run the resort for one year and show a profit - only then will they own it.

Out of work and ready for a change, Peyton thinks a year doing something completely different sounds wonderful. She dives into the resort business, but a series of dangerous mishaps slows her down. Peyton refuses to be intimidated - until she’s nearly killed. Then she calls on her childhood friend, Finn MacBain.

Now an agent with the FBI, Finn is happy to help an old friend. But he isn’t expecting to have feelings for the beautiful woman Peyton has become. And it soon becomes clear that she is facing something far more sinister than sabotage …
