From New York Times bestselling author Carla Neggers All she wants is a new beginning... but ghosts of the past can be hard to shake. Security consultant Quinn Harlowe just started an independent career and is enjoying a relaxed new lifestyle in her bayside cottage. But then she finds a friend and former colleague dead outside. Local law enforcement deems it suicide, but Quinn has her doubts. It's time to start her own investigation. As Quinn draws closer and closer to the truth, she discovers that someone is following her every move. Though Huck McCabe claims he's a bodyguard at Breakwater, a high-security compound nearby, he's actually an undercover agent trying to penetrate a violent network of vigilantes--the same people Quinn has identified. Together they must face a conspiracy that could blow the lid off the Department of Justice. Previously Published.
