The romances get steamier, the dangers get riskier, and suddenly, Samantha and the Sheriff are facing two crises.
A group of right-wing political nuts have dreamed up a plan to hold downtown Port Manatee hostage and embarrass the city. At the same time, a vicious drug and sex trafficking ring has begun a local crime spree. Sheriff Perkins must take a big gamble on executing a daring raid on the waterfront mansions of two local celebrities to uncover hidden evidence.

As they sail the stormy international waters, the attacks never stop—nor does the humor and fun for readers. All the favorites are back in this latest “Samantha and the Sheriff adventure”—Perk, The Wives, and of course, Rosie, the beloved dog, who never met a treat she didn’t like.
