      About This Book

      After Special Agent Holly Barker lets an international terrorist slip through her fingers for a second time, the CIA thinks she might want a long vacation. So Holly returns to her hometown of Orchid Beach, Florida, where she was police chief for many years. But a very unpleasant surprise awaits her. Many years earlier, while she was in the army, Holly and another female officer brought charges against their commander for sexual harassment. Holly managed to fight him off, but the other woman, a young lieutenant, didn't. The officer in question was acquitted of all charges, and left the army—for a job as Orchid Beach's new police chief. Now Holly must decide whether to return to the CIA—or seek her revenge.
