When Brielle returns home to Nassau, The Bahamas, she only hopes to find inspiration for her creative writing class. Instead, she is thrust into a dangerous mystery that could cost her everything.
An unexpected encounter with Jared Tanner, a determined FBI agent from the Internal Operations Unit, changes the course of her life forever. Jared quickly realizes Brielle may hold the missing piece to a chilling case involving a terrified young woman, a ruthless Russian spy ring, and a shadowy figure with deadly secrets.
Joined by his partner Kate, Jared follows a trail that stretches from Nassau's sunlit shores to the dark corners of international espionage. Their pursuit uncovers a centuries-old pirate map, a mysterious calling card tied to terrorists in China, and a deadly plot that threatens more than just Brielle's safety.
As the danger closes in, Brielle fights to protect her mother while grappling with fear, trust, and survival. Meanwhile, Jared and Kate race against time to solve the puzzle, stop the killers, and unravel the truth hidden within the Bahamian treasure before it's too late.
