Connor Shafer and her sisters Mac and Lanier have been incommunicado for five years, thanks to overheated arguments and hurtful words that passed between them following their father’s funeral at Arlington. But Mac, the middle sister, breaks that silence with an email and a reunion is soon in the works, followed by three winning tickets, and more money than they would spend in a lifetime. Not that Connor wasn’t wealthy in her own right. She, being a much sought after Certified Public Accountant specializing in forensic accounting, had accumulated quite a nest egg in her twenty plus years of studying numbers. But she was ready for a change, ready to retire and start traveling, and she was going to do just that. Unfortunately, on the 15th of April, the busiest day of the tax year, her junior associate and friend is hurt under mysterious circumstances while in the midst of an audit for a local oil company. Determined to uncover the truth, Connor steps into a world where every answer leads to more questions, and her safety becomes perilous. Ronan was a man with more secrets than the Federal Bureau of Investigations, all of which were in a hand that he held close to his chest. With a dark past, and a questionable job, he is given the task of keeping a close eye on Connor. But even good ideas have bad consequences. Each burdened with dark memories in their pasts that keep them wary of each other, Connor and Ronan come together on a united front, entering into the world of espionage, cartels, and stolen lives, with danger around every corner. They must learn to trust each other as they skirt the perimeters of the dangerous underworld.
