Synopsis:

Florida Authors and Publishers Association 2026 President’s Book Awards Silver medal winner for Adult Fiction: Mystery / Suspense

Get ready for a wild ride where danger and hilarity intertwine, and where the line between friend and foe blurs under the scorching Florida sun.

As the band sets the tropical soundtrack, investment advisor Tom McCall aims to bring some cool to the sizzling scene. But is he who he claims to be?

Enter Florida Freddi and Missy Mudd, the dynamic duo of real estate known as the Bikini Real Estate team. Their latest sale to Jules Armand takes an unexpected turn when suspicions arise—is Armand truly who he says he is, or is he the notorious Russian scam artist Boris Nabokov? Tom, alias for former cop turned private investigator Rick Dante, is on the case, unraveling a web of deceit that intertwines with Freddi's secret life as Sabrina, agent for exotic dancers. But their investigations lead to a darker truth—a female trafficking ring operated by ruthless Russians.

As Freddi and Rick's paths collide, sparks fly in more ways than one, igniting a magnetic attraction despite their mutual suspicions. With a colorful cast of characters, including Boomer the horse and The Squid, their journey will have you holding on tight as you barrel towards a chaotic and uproarious showdown.
