Summer, 1991: Working at a beachfront hotel in their sleepy southern coastal town gives life-long friends Violet, Danielle, Whitney, Ford and Sully the chance to spend as much time as possible together after college graduation and before real life begins. One exceptionally busy and very long night—which includes a wedding, a lost dog, hatching sea turtles and a job offer—has each of them facing hopes and fears for the future. Wrestling with choices means loyalties are tested while alliances shift.

Mari Marcosa has been betrayed by a person she let inside her life in every possible way. The pain is unbearable, not just because of what he means—meant—to her, but because now she's got a huge damn target on her back. Almost as big as the hole in her heart. Every mafia leader in the city sees this betrayal as a sign of Mari's weakness and they can’t wait to use it to their advantage. Her back is to a wall that is crumbling more every second and the men she needs most are struggling just to stay alive.

It all comes down to this. Mari Marcosa's family—the three men who are her very world—is back together. She won’t let anything tear them apart. Not again. May God have mercy on her enemies. Because she won’t.

Mari Marcosa may be head of her family’s mafia empire, but the new enemy hiding in the shadows is determined to destroy her—piece by piece. She has no idea who she can trust. Until three men become the very foundation of her survival. Greyson: Her best friend, her second-in-command, her savior. The one she always needed but couldn’t have. Dominic: Her new underboss with molten eyes and a smile made for war. He brings out a gentle side in Mari she doesn’t know if she can afford.

Mari Marcosa always knew she would die young, so being left to bleed out on a warehouse floor is no shock to her. But as the blood seeps from her body, her thoughts aren’t of the Marcosa empire she's ruled for years, or the city she's given everything to protect. It's on the three men who’ve stood by her side:

I’m back in my hometown but not for a friendly visit. The Mafia has set their sights on my uncle’s bakery, and now he’s gone missing. I will do whatever it takes to find my uncle and ensure the bakery never ends up under their control. It won’t be easy, but it will be worth it…if I stay focused. That proves difficult with someone like Raf around….
