From award-winning author Annie Seaton, this intriguing romance will make you shiver with fear and warm your heart.

When one sister vanishes into the criminal underworld, the other must risk everything to bring her home.

Regan James has always been the wild one—the sister who takes risks and breaks rules. So when her former partner, Rod Carruthers, finds her in a seedy tropical bar, he assumes the worst. Again. But this time, Regan's tangled up in something far more dangerous than Rod imagines. And before he can uncover the truth, she disappears.

Her sister Gracie has spent her whole life being the good girl—the teacher in the quiet outback town. But when Regan vanishes, Gracie abandons everything to search the steamy North Queensland coast, where she's thrust into a world of sex trafficking, organised crime, and deadly secrets.

Jake Alexander wants Gracie off his boat and out of his life. The last thing this hardened charter captain needs is an innocent schoolteacher asking questions that could get them both killed. But he can't throw her to the wolves—not when she's walking straight into the same trap that swallowed her sister.

Forced into an uneasy alliance, Jake and Gracie must navigate treacherous waters where nothing is as it seems. As desire ignites between them, the clock is ticking. Unless they can learn to trust each other, both sisters will pay the ultimate price.

Two sisters. Two men with dangerous secrets. And one chance to survive.
