From Audrey Carlan, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Calendar Girl series.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: where torrid temperatures can ignite explosive family secrets.

There’s nothing I won’t do to protect Skyler, the team, and my family. After the recent attempt on our lives, escaping to Rio to enjoy the hot sands of Copacabana Beach sounds like a little piece of heaven and a much-needed break from the nightmare back in Boston.

When my brother’s Brazilian mate solicits my help to weed out a shadowy embezzler slowly bleeding his business dry, I can’t say no. However, the more we dig into the issue, the more secrets come to the surface. Hidden agendas, grudges, and recriminations all seem par for the course in sunny Rio de Janeiro. The worst of it? The enemy we have at home appears to have come out of hiding and continues to threaten what I hold most dear.

Once again I’m in a killer’s sights, but more than that, the people I love back home are left vulnerable.
