Shadows in Calusa Cove (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781638270997)

In the shadows of Calusa Cove, the past doesn't sleep-it waits.

Trent Mallor has spent years convincing himself he's finally steady-running his gator farm, keeping his head down, and honoring his late mother's wish that he stop taking reckless chances. He's a man clawing his way toward peace after a lifetime of close calls. But when strangers start trespassing through the Glades and one of his gators turns up dead, that fragile calm shatters. His father died two decades ago after stumbling onto something powerful men wanted buried-or so Trent's always believed. Now someone wants his land, and they're willing to dig up old graves to get it. Every instinct he has says this isn't just about acreage. It's about what his father knew-and what Trent was never supposed to find out.

Dovelynn Quinn knows trouble when it calls, and Trent Mallor has always been exactly that. When he turns to her for help, she tells herself it's just another job: assess the threat, keep him breathing, don't get attached. As part of the Aegis Network, she's trained to see patterns in chaos-but nothing about Trent Mallor follows the rules. The closer they get to the truth, the harder it is to tell where the danger ends and desire begins.
