Book #3 in the three-book saga of a woman on the run. (This ongoing story begins in "Who Hates Marigold Flowers", Book #1, and continues in "In the Shadows of a Lie", Book #2.) In Book #1, the former Marigold Flowers was booted out of WitSec when she was suspected of orchestrating the attempted murder of a US Marshal. Luckily, she found sanctuary with the two younger Cornwall brothers. Jackson and Lincoln kept her out of the hands of determined contract killers with the help of family and friends. In Book #2, the reborn Olivia Michaud was forced to flee yet again, this time with a new team of protectors, while best-selling thriller author and TV producer Jefferson Cornwall investigated her case. He had his doubts about her innocence, even as he found himself falling for her. Now, just as Olivia Michaud settles down in Atlanta, she and Jeff find out that she's still on someone's hit list. Unwilling to take any chances with her safety, he sends her away for safekeeping, guarded by retired FBI agents. But trouble quickly follows. Brazenly kidnapped in broad daylight by a couple of hired thugs, she's tossed into the back of a van for a harrowing trip down to Florida. The villain of this twisted scheme needs to keep her alive long enough to retrieve a fortune in laundered money down in Curaçao. Jefferson Cornwall and his security team work feverishly to rescue the damsel in distress, but they're running out of time. The minute that boat hits international waters, Olivia may be lost forever. Luckily, the plucky heroine keeps her wits about her and she's willing to do just about anything to stay alive, even if it means she has to die another death in the conclusion of this exciting three-book saga.
