Be wary of what you find on the beach. For bar owner Ross Gaines, that just so happens to be the beautiful Tyler Scott, a formerly disgraced DC attorney who recently found her way to sleepy Marathon Key. Yet with the hustle of Miami to the north and the bustle of Key West to the south, life on the islands in the middle of the Florida keys is changing, as progress has begun creeping from each direction like a slow moving Atlantic storm. In the cross-hairs of this gathering hurricane sits Ross bar, The Sombrero beach Club. But it seems to be more than merely progress putting the squeeze on the business, but who and more importantly why? It falls then to Ross and Tyler to investigate what may be at play. The mystery takes them back over thirty years to a time of innocence, a time when travelers paid little attention to Marathon, seeing it as just another in the long chain of islands holding up the Overseas Highway. Their search will draw the two together, while what they learn may tear them apart. Are they working together, or from opposite sides? And just who is playing who, and to what end? But someone has planted a time bomb back then. It is getting ready to detonate the bar and all associated with it, and those who set it will stop at nothing to ensure it goes BOOM.
