An undercover FBI agent and a coffee shop owner who values her independence must team up when a local barista is found dead in their coastal Texas town in this new romantic thriller from New York Times bestselling author Laura Griffin.
ย
With two brothers on the police force, Leyla Breda isย wellย aware of the rising crime in her small beach town, but she never expected it to show up on her doorstep. When Leyla finds one of her employees murdered in the alley behind her coffee shop, sheโs deeply shaken, and as a new law enforcement officer in town begins to circle her place of business, her instincts only sharpen.
Sean Moran is on an undercover mission: The seaside community ofย Lostย Beach may look like a picturesqueย postcard, but his team suspects itโs a point of intersection for several crime syndicates that the FBI has been investigating for years. Even so, when the brash and beautiful Leyla Breda starts bossing him around, he's immediately intrigued. He knows her brothers want him to back off, but every time he sees her, he feels more of a spark.
Leylaโs connections in the local community and Seanโs skills allow them to go deeper into the case together than they would be able to go alone. But when a single crime spirals into something much darker,ย Seanโs carefully planned mission takes a deadly turn.
