Through the Fire — David Alexander

Reeling from the sudden death of his brother, Clint Weston finds himself starting over in a Carolina coastal town that is scrambling to recover from Hurricane Cindy. His new start brings close friendships and a promising romance but also wreaks more destruction on his life than any hurricane could. Drawn unexpectedly into the thick of a drug smuggling operation entangled with a gold cache hidden since the Civil War, Clint has no choice but to fight his way out. And with the local sheriff, a senator, and the governor against him and an untouchable mobster family looking for quick millions Clint and his friends are left to fight against all hope and for their very lives.
